I'm profoundly ambivalent on the new 35. The competition has amanged to produce equivalents which are both faster (f1.8) and cheaper ($200 MSRP) and while the new 35 is smaller than the Nikon or Sony versions, it's not significantly so. I was expecting a much smaller lens when I heard the f2.4 spec.
Time for me to start hunting an FA35 I think. -Adam On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 2:19 AM, John Celio <[email protected]> wrote: > May I be the first to say: I will be avoiding the just-announced DA L 35mm > f2.4.
