My first Limited!!! DA 35mm

PinarelloOnly · 02-25-2009, 07:38 PM

Wifey bought me a nice birthday present.

As many of you already know this is such an awesome lens!!! I've only had it for an
hour and it is sooo noticeably faster than the kit lens.

This lens is such a joy to use in full manual mode!!!!

Congratulations.... you appear to be well along to understanding why it won't be your last Limited!

Nice shot of an even better looking lens!

Great looking lens. It's nice to see another Pentax shooter on the shoreline in CT.

heh... this is exactly why I've been hesitating on getting either the 40 or 35 although they are exactly what I want (no, NEED) in a lens...

congratulations!

I have my eye on the 70 and 43 Limited's already.

Maybe next month.

Do I dare say that I used a Nikon D50 to take that pic.

Sure this lens will be your lens of choice in the next few years to come

I tried that lens for a week and boy is it a beauty! Once you try a limited it's hard to think of any other kind of lens.

I just got this lens myself (woot for ebay deals) and yes it is a lot of fun!
Gasp! Its white! I actually think it looks nice with an all black lens, but thats me.

I think it's going to be the 70mm next...and then the 43mm to fill in the gap.
