The new 35mm gonna be kit worthy, that puppys coming in colours.

aaand focus assist light, nice.

If that DA 35 f2.4 is legit, under $200, and worth a damn when it comes to image quality I'll grab one in a heartbeat. Well OK, when I scrape up $200.

AF assist lamp, nice. Color matched DA35mm 2.4, interesting.

wow they're bunding it with the 35mm? That sounds like a great idea to me! In all those colors? Pretty cool! (if you don't like the other colors, don't buy the other colors!)

What is that little lever on the lower left hand corner (if you were holding the camera). Never seen that before

Indeed. My interest for a white DA35mm has increased dramatically.

Did anyone else notice that the new 35mm did not get a "DA L" designation?
