Although there is not much to see on the monitor, but I decided to post anyway. As far as I can tell, when inspected the slides by a loupe, slides made by the A35/2.8 appear less sharper. I would feel that the 43/1.9 (I know it's not the same focal length, but still quite close) is a noticeable sharper lens. The 24/2 is not particular sharp either imo, except when taking close up portrait which shows every bits of facial imperfection (lol). Most of the photos were taken between f8 & f22.No. You can read Pal's comments on this lens at Stan Halpin's website. Also, I was at the house of another PDMLer and he was in agreement with Pal's assessment.
