Good morning, I saw some photos taken with the DA * 35 macro,
In particular, the photo of a leaf, yellow, fall on a wooden bench.
Gentilmeente Now I ask you, what can replace the FA * DA 35macro, both on K20 that on film??

FA * 31 or 43?
43 is cheaper than 31.
but the 43 makes a good photo?
Or better to wait two months, and raise the money for a FA * 31?

Thanks

Just FYI, the DA 35mm f.28 macro is not on the DA* league (with SDM focus mechanism). Its just DA limited series

They are all great lenses, although none of them are "*" lenses. See the Lens Review section of this site for more opinions on specifics, but basically, there is not quality reason to choose betwene them - mostly just a question of which focal length suits you best, whether you care more about faster aperture or macro capability, etc.

yes true

Thanks for your reply, yes, all these lenses are not STAR *
MA limited, I apologize.

The fact that macros do not indispensable, just looking for a macro lens like the DA 35, for its color quality, and the little distorsone.

Since I can not buy two lenses, I have to better understand who is approached between 43 and 31, the qualities that I mentioned above for 35.
This factor makes me insecure and I can not choose between 43 and 31.
43'll pay half of 31, but I would not be in the hands of a lens that disappoints me.

The focal lunnghezza is not important, but the distortion did, and the fact that it could approach which results in very well.


Thanks

I think both of these lenses are excellent. The question to me is really whether you want a lens that is a stop faster and a little longer, or one that can shoot macro. The disortion should really be minimal with either of these lenses.

One stop is +, macro is a not indispensable, i prefer a closup.... ok tkx
