The DA35 is lovely sharp at infinity. But, the focus ring comes to a hard stop *past* infinity, so for manual focus you have to be paying attention. Whereas the SMC35 has a hard stop at infinity so you know you're good when you get there.
Having said that however, if you can only own one of these, get the DA35. Because, sometimes it's really nice to have Auto exposure / auto focus capabilities. You'll have excellent IQ either way. And acquisition costs are more or less the same for either lens.
Best solution, of course, is to get both
edit--OOOPS duh
Just re-read the original post which refers to the 35mm limited. My comments concern the DA35/2.4 plastic fantastic, which is a fine lens in its own right.
