But compared > to the DA35, it's an expensive bit of français. Do you need to take pictures in ambient light indoors at that focal length? If so, the FA31 is superior to the DA35 _for that purpose_, because it will work at all and the DA35 doesn't. Do you need to take pictures of fine colour detail in daylight? The DA35 is superior to the FA31 for that purpose, especially in the high end of spectrum. (Flower-purples.) That's really all it comes down to, unless you're specifically in love with the rendering from the 31. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
