I tried SMC A 35mm f2 in mint condition on K-1 and wide open it was as you say glowy. Didn't like it but still wanted to buy it. However, I paused the purchase urge and instead I bought Flektogon 35mm f2.4 which is a much better lens. Super sharp wide open without any significant or less significant flaws. It has great bokeh and focuses like a macro lens.

Hello! or if nothing else, some of the older K lenses.... 30 2.8 (though i'd prefer a 35 over 30), the 35 f2, or smaller 35 3.5. Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

Overall the K35/3.5 is still my favourite 35mm lens that I own. (Also have the K35/2, A35/2.8 and the FA35/2)

Thank you guys for the responses!

Hmm, now i'm curious about the 35mm f2 SMC-A, 35mm f2.8 SMC-M, the k 35 3.5, and the rikenon 35 2.8 (first version). Maybe i should try them all lol.
