I use the FA J 18-35 on my *ist 35mm SLR and like it a lot. I think
it performs surprisingly well, but it does have significant
vignetting at the largest apertures, distortion at the shortest focal
lengths, and that slow f5.6 at 35mm.
I know that Godfrey and others have praised the FA 20-35, which I am
sure is a much better lens. My question is, how much better is it on
35mm? Is there noticeable vignetting at larger apertures? Is the
image close to rectilinear?
Test images at Dario's site and a few other places helped me pick the
FA J initially. Are there any test shots around showing results from
the FA 20-35 on 35mm? Is anyone using this on a 35mm body -- what
do you think of it? Most of what I've found via Google is from using
the lens on a digital SLR.
Thanks in advance for comments and opinions.
