now that you've tried out the FA31 as well, how do you think they compare
Carl and Mike think the DA35 is better
Good question, I feel like I need to take the time to shoot some more to come to
a conclusion on what's the 'better' lens. Really, I'm thinking that despite their
similar FL's, they're different lenses, for different purposes - the 31ltd is wider
and faster - it's truly a low-light lens. The DA 35ltd is a macro, with d-normal
walkabout characteristics as an extra. The DA 35 will never match the 31's DOF
magic or (probably) bokeh, but the 31ltd isn't going to be quite as sharp in close
as the 35ltd. And it's not macro.
I'd say right now that they both are truly great
(How's that for waffling....)
Re the last cloud shot - it was at f/8 ISO 100 1/2000 sec. Below is the uncropped
version:
