Ask a FA 31/1.8 owner and they will tell you that the FA 35/2 is a dog with plastic build and harsh bokeh.
Ask a FA 35/2 owner and he will grant that the FA 31/1.8 is a great lens, but not worth 3x more than the FA 35/2. He will also tell you that the FA 35/2 is sharp as a tack at all apertures and is compact and light. He will then curse Pentax for phasing this fine lens out.
For some reason, this particular comparison has been hot on at least three different threads for the last week or so. Go figure...
