I have both the K and M versions of the 3.5. I see very little difference in image quality between the two, especially at 5.6 and 8. The bokeh is a bit better on the K but for the size and weight difference, and the advantage of having the same filter size (49) as my 50's I usually prefer to carry the M. The flare resistance of the M seems a bit better than the K, probably the smaller front element.
BTW: I've found the M28/2.8 to be a better lens than I expected, given all the negative comments it's recieved, not as good as the 3.5 though. Don PS: JCO, I found another K300/4, so I don't hate you anymore! ;-) <<<<<Please note grin! > -----Original Message----- > From: J. C.
