Shel (and PDMLers),
I noticed Shel selected the M24~35/3.5 lens for one of his choices
for the "harder game" quiz -- I picked up that same lens a few months
ago on eBay (I got it for the $200 Buy-It-Now price, thanks to a
heads-up post to this list -- thanks!).
I really like it, but hardly see it mentioned on this list or on
eBay. I know it wasn't made for that long, but it has great reviews
on the Pentax lens comments sites. Who else has or had this lens, and
what are your experiences with it?
To me, it has great construction quality (best "feel" zoom of the M
series?) and seems good enough to replace primes at 24mm, 28mm and
35mm -- especially if the primes you'd be replacing would be f3.5 --
no loss of speed, something unusual when choosing between primes and
a zoom covering the same range.
