If we take into account the comparisons and statistics about the FA31 v FA35, they're *very* close. So if the FA31 is close to the Summilux, then the FA35 must be close, too.
Maybe, you know, (I know this is HERESY, but I'm going to say it anyway) if you get two high quality lenses of similar focal length and aperture, and shoot the same image with both, the results will be *very* close when compared?
As a father of young kids in a single-income family, what I find humorous is the comments on that page who are just gushing about the value of the FA 31. If I could afford one without taking out an equity mortgage, I might consider it, but otherwise the FA is in another league, price-wise, than what I could ever own.
I feel super-fortunate to have been able to get ahold of the FA 43 when it was still in the ~$480 range (I think?) years ago.
