RE: 31 Ltd and FA* 24 size and weight

[Mark Erickson]

Thanks for the info.  Turns out I use autofocus quite a lot in low-light 
situations (the camera usually does a pretty good job).  That points to the 
31 as a likely choice.  Boy, is it expensive though!  Eeesh.

Mark, I have both the 31 and the A35/2. 

The 31 makes the D quite front heavy, I expect this 
would be more pronounced with the Ds. The 35 is a nice 
match for the size of the camera. 

The 31 is, however, the better lens, though the 
35 is no slouch either. 

If you like manual focus lenses, the A35/2 is a 
gorgeous lens. It was my standard lens on the istD 
until I got the 31.
