Pentax 35mm f3.5

**EsBee** · 04-24-2009, 11:12 AM

Most reviews on the Lens Review call it a good lens. However, one reviewer asks not to confuse it with a different "M" version, calling it decent, but I find no reference to that on Dimitrov's Pentax website. All I see is just the K version of Pentax 35mm f3.5, which I got recently.

Opinions requested on the quality and rarity of this lens. And on whether or not there is another version. There just doesn't seem to be much about it on the internet.

Thanks much.

There is no "M" version.

Pentax Lens Review Database - M Series Primes

The K verson is optically the same as the good old screw mount Takumar, and well worth going for.

For that reason alone (same as the SMC Tak 35/3.5) I did not buy the K mount version when I got the KX. Still regret that.
