Originally posted by Damn Brit nostatic is right, they are totally different. For me though, if I could only have one, it would be the Nokton, for one thing it's beautiful to look at, for another it feels great to use (the FA 35 isn't designed with MF as it's primary purpose) and finally, it allows for more artistic work than does the 35. I'm sure other Nokton owners can add to that list.
Another thing to think about, there are limited numbers of the Nokton I believe, FA35 may go up in price but should be available in the future.
Gary, OP was asking about he DA ltd, not FA...
But I think all your points are still valid!
