DA35 f2.4 - the Plastic Fantastic club

Every time I use this lens I'm asking myself why I don't use it more often, the IQ of this lens is just amazing for its price.

Love your processing on these zombie walk shots.

Actually in general I really like your processing you do on your street photography.

Decided to take out my trust 35mm f/2.4 for a spin today and caught my babies being reasonably cute.. I also set my cam to raw+jpg just to see what the camera came up with.. :ugh::ugh: I'll stick with my raw process, thank you very much! I also used around 50% less sharpening in these than I'd normally use.

I just put in an order for this plastic wonder! With the B&H price being cheaper than buying used at KEH, I had to do it.
All I have so far are manual primes (and the kit lens which I don't like). Now when the wife picks up the camera, I won't be out of focus anymore, hopefully

First ever picture with the plastic fantastic. I've already gotten quite a few keepers from it. K20D.

Will be picking up an FA31 when I order my K-3 (hopefully tomorrow). But when I see what can be achieved with the plastic fantastic I sometime wonder if I should spend the money on the FA31....

Beautiful portrait - I've been wrestling with the same thoughts for months myself now. I have thus far resisted but I doubt forever
