20mm isn't always my length.....sometimes Yes.....sometimes No. 35mm seems a bit more average for me overall.

The 35 macro wins in color rendition, microcontrast, and clarity. The 35 macro is one the few lenses I can usually tell I took a photo with right away. Now with all that I still seem to end up using the DA21 for landscapes.
The DFA28-105 is a fantastic landscape lens as well. I use the DFA 28-105 on the K-1 and the K3. The DFA 28-105 beats the 16-85 and the 18-135 in overall resolution.
What the DA 35 macro will bring is something that no other lens I have seems to do. It is difficult to explain I guess. There is just something specail about photos with the 35 macro. It has some of the best clarity of any lens I own.
I didn't know this about the DA 35/2.4 being able to be used on FF and excelling on Apsc ? Could you elaborate ?
I did know about the 3-D pop with the DA 35 macro limited as I saw several images where it was evident.
I also know the DFA 28-105 is reported to be an excellent FF lens. I briefly owned a copy for my K-1 and was quite impressed. However while changing lenses in Baja....I left it on a rock outcrop in the Sea of Cortez on Angel de La Guarda Island after a day of insane hiking.....I plan on retrieving it this fall , or at least whatever may be left of it exposed for a year outside. My new copy will be here this week.
Thanks for the input on the DA 35 Macro....this is the info Im looking for.

And I bought the DA 20-40 LNIB for $275 in light of really wanting the HD DA 35 limited Macro.....lol

NOPE ! Been there done that. Maybe with a $9 Ricoh lens....not with a Limited....
