I´m also in love with 35mm/2,8 ltd. The most usefull lense of my collection, and i also use that the most. Lovely piece of class and metal.
Samples:

You can se that this lense is great for walkabout, macro and landscape pics.

And sorry about re-posting that waterdrop and cabin. Those are my best samples of 35mm

That sunset is from my yesterdays walk trip.

ogl: Dont know where you got your DA35, but if has poor resolution. Send it back and get a new one, cause my copy eats every other lens alive when it comes to sharpness and pixelpeeping for details. Or maby you just dont like that its a DA, get over it and move on sir.

This one didnt come out so sharp due to odd angle. But I love it

I also enjoy tremendously to work with the DA35 Ltd and I even like the bokeh:

This time of year (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) macros start coming out
in force. Last summer this lens was all over also.

Thats a good point... it would also then mean its a good all year round lens in the tropics.

I am not into macros myself... but appreciate very much the skill and art that so many display here.

Jay's back with his DA35 goodness

Here's our new puppy at home:

Recercare · 05-15-2009, 01:11 AM

Buy both!

I had a hard time choosing between DA35 and DA40. I got DA40 and I am very happy with it. However, I am still going to buy the FA 31, mostly because it's fantastic from F2.0 to F4.0 (I borrowed it for a month).

If I had purchased the DA35 instead of the DA40 I would still get the FA31. When doing urban photography and full body shots at F1.8 to F4 I preferred the FA31. When shooting landscape, industrial, architecture and misc. (at F5.6 to F11) I always used the DA40.

Kind regards
