Cool!

I really like the 35mm/f2.0 but would only
recommend it if you don't already have a 50mm.
If you do, then get the 28mm. The 35mm's
perspective just isn't very much different
than a 50mm's.
> How do the AF lenses compare ?
Optically they're equivalent. The AI-S
lenses are a little bit easier to focus
manually. On the AF ones a small movement
of the focus ring makes a bigger shift in
focus, and they don't have as much drag.
You might want to get the AF's if you think
you'll end up with an AF camera in the future.
> Why are they *cheaper* that AI-S ???
I don't know, but there's a big difference.
I went ahead and traded my 24mm and 35mm for
used AF's a couple of weeks ago. AF isn't a
big deal on a wide-angle, but with the MF prices
relatively high it was a cheap swap, and now
I've got 3D metering (which *is* a big deal on
a wide-angle).
