Agreed on marketing PoV. But how are those optically? I read quite soft wide open but didn't see any serious test (no DPR lens tests are no serious to me).
The DA35 seems to be VERY close to FA35 at least looking at the optical blueprint. It may be 2.4 but it also may be VERY good optically. I know what I'd buy if I had choice (but we all know we do not). -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille/Thibs ---------------------- Photo: K-7, Sigma 28/1.8 macro, FA50/1.4, DA40Ltd, K30/2.8, DA16-45, DA50-135, DA50-200, 360FGZ ...
