Originally posted by jeffrey r Alone, in the 30mm range, one could have any of the FA 31, DA 35 or FA 35 and likely be perfectly happy. But you buy the DA or FA 35, and you always wonder what you're missing without the legendary FA 31. Or you buy the FA 31 or FA 35, and wonder about the macro you're missing with the DA 35...
Ha ha ha !!!
Very well put!!
I currently have the FA 35 and I sometimes wonder about the FA 31... but then I remember the price and I come back straight to earth!!
Pure LBA moments, because honestly, the FA 35 is such a GREAT lens... and only if I did have some extra money i'd buy the 31 LTD, after all, it is considered one of the best lens ever made! So yes, it does make me wonder how could it be better than the FA 35....
(Un)Fortunately, I never had any desire for the DA35 Macro... not sure why... I think is mostly the lower speed...
But hey Pentaxians, dont we have the greatest problems ever or what? for instance, 3 highest quality 30's mm lenses available from $300 up to $900... all of them highly loved by all users.
