Hmm. Last I recalled the FA35/2 AL was $299 and the DA40/2.8 Ltd was $275 or so. I guess the rebate means $50 off the DA price. I still prefer the shorter focal length and the easier-to-grip lens, as well as the additional stop in speed. The DA40 is too thin for my hands! The DA21 and DA70 are more to my liking.
