Apparent sharpness.
Although I'm not familiar with either lens, apparent sharpness would have
been my guess.
I always try to put my best foot forward.
Only way to fly.
Thanks Paul

Apparent sharpness. The difference between the DA 16-45 and the FA 35/2
stopped down to f8 or so is only evident at extreme enlargement, but it
can be seen. I could have shot this job with either lens, and it would be
just fine for the client, a magazine publisher. After printing on offset,
no one could possibly see any difference. But I would guess that the
publisher's art directors examine the photos quite carefully, and I always
try to put my best foot forward.

In what way?
Just curious

Yesterday I did a shoot in a supermarket. I could have covered it all
with my DA
16-45. But instead I switched back and forth between the K 24/3.5, the FA
35/2,
and the FA 50/1.4. Why? Because the three primes are better tools. Same
photographer, better tools. Prior experience told me that the results
would be
slightly better with my best lenses, so I worked a little harder and
swapped the
glass in and out. The best tool one can afford is best.
