The F 35-80/4-5.6 is a good lens when stopped down; it is far from excellent, and not very good wide open, but can be used with no complaint. There is no FA 35-80/4-5.6. The FA 28-80/3.5-5.6, although apparently better built and with a more useful focal lenght range, is a poor performer at 28, even stopped down, and a more than average performer at 80. The FA in the name should mean that it can communicate with the body about the focusing distance, meaning a better performance with TTL flash. If you need a lens wider than 35 and have no other opportunities, the FA can be the choice, but I cannot recommend it. > Thank you in advance and thank you allready for all the help. > Hope I will have something worth of showing on PUG soon. > > With regards You are welcome!
