Originally posted by Ristretto This conclusion I can not confirm. I have both of them; the DFA35 is an excellent lens but the DFA 90 plays on an other level. The 90mm is one of the best lenses I ever owned
On my
blog I did some comparisons between the FA and the new DFA. Conclusion: The DFA is really better at open aperture and in the corners and has a nicer/rounder bokeh (depends on what aperture). All other features like CA, purple fringing, flare-sensitivity etc. show no considerable differences between the two lenses.
I agree, the 90mm is a great lens, very sharp and well controlled, if not an odd focal length for the 645z crop. It probably plays on another level because its a tele macro and you can't really compare it to a wide angle.
I copied and pasted each paragraph of your review into google translate and it seems very thorough, well done. I could not find the review in english on your site.
From comparing the DFA 35 and the DA 28-45 on Diglloyd, I would say that at 35mm, the DFA 35 is the better lens. I have the 28-45 and am about to buy the DFA 35 is a lighter weight alternative for travel.
