Originally posted by cptrios Pretty much what the title says. I'm a big fan of 35/2 lenses in general, and I get the (possibly wrong) impression that the FA version is a better performer than the K or M models. Not to mention substantially cheaper. I know that the FA lenses will work fine on the manual focus bodies, but my question is: is it worth it? Am I wrong to assume that manual focus won't be particularly pleasant?
no, not crazy, but possibly not very satisfying either....
I haven't found many AF lenses that are enjoyable as MF lenses - usually, there's very little feedback in the focus ring, the focus ring travel is too short, etc....
