Pop Photo reviewed the FA 35 2.0 in Dec. 99. I made it a point to dig it out. It is apparently a very good lens. The MTF numbers are quite high (but, since Pop Photo just changed their testing equipment, current numbers are said to be 5-7% lower). It is slightly weak at f2.0 and 2.8, but that seems to be the main difference from the 31 in terms of sharpness. And even at those apertures, sharpness is probably adequate for moderate enlargements. My right brain is trying to convince my left brain that I can do just fine with the 35. So far the left brain is holding its own. Joe - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
