Just paged through 16 exposures made today with the FA35/2 AL that
arrived earlier. This is a very nice lens: I can see its crispness
and contrast in the viewfinder immediately, and the OOF rendering
is very nice too, quite similar to the F50/1.7, I think, at first
glances. I also like that it is very compact and very light weight.
The focal length coupled with f/2 speed is a good complement my
other frequently used lenses.
Are you using it on a film or digital body?
IMO 35mm is a fantastic focal length on film. I have the K35mm f/3.5
and it's one of my real favourites. Luckily I don't often find
myself wishing for extra speed.
My Pentax lens kit is just about as complete as I need it to be.
More than I need, actually: I'll be going through the equipment
cabinet and putting some of the extras up for sale. No point to me
in hoarding lenses that will not be used often.
Thinking you have enough gear is the indicator that it's time to take
up another format. Ever thought of 6x7? ;)
