Every year I take a picture of our office building entrance road... this year I thought I'd use the M 28 3.5 and the DA 35 2.4.
M 28 3.5
DA 35 2.4
Bonus fall leaves... also DA 35 2.4.
All pictures taken at ISO 100 and f/8.
Comments: straight out of camera, the DA 35 2.4 had the better pictures - punchier colors, more contrast. But after doing my PP on both, it seems like the M 28 3.5 had a bit more microcontrast to draw from, which makes the picture seem a bit sharper. I think they are both equally sharp, but the M 28 contrast gives it a "sharper look" if that makes sense.
Also, the M 28 3.5 didn't have a hood and the DA 35 2.4 did. Still, the M lens seemed to handle the strong sunlight on the left better, but my DA 35 2.4 has a small scratch on the front element and that might be causing issues...
Still. I love both lenses
They both have their own character.
