I can compare the FA35/2 against the A35/2.8 and FA31/1.8. All three are very good, but the A35/2.8 is some distance behind the two FAs in performance. The FA31 is just a hair better performer, with better OOF rendering, than the FA35, but the edge is very slight and expensive.

I didn't like the FA31's built in hood, size, weight, etc. where the FA35 is wonderfully compact and light.

I don't know anything else in the 35mm range that's faster than the FA35/2 AL.

Any comments on the A35/2.0 v the FA35/2.0 for use on the istDS and how
either might compare to the K35/3.5 or K35/2.0?

I've decided that the next lens I get will be a fast-ish 35mm .... comments
or suggestions most appreciated.  Is there anything in the 35mm range
that's faster besides the Ltd?
