I am not sure how spread it is amongs the PDML crowd :-)
I did not have an AF 35 mm (but do have the limited 31mm), and since I like
to do a lot of macro work, I did get one right after it came out.
Like all Pentax macro's it is quite sharp.
It also has a good bokeh, important for macro backgrounds.
For an example seen my PUG submission for november:

>(or even 16-50/2.8)?
Never did a pixel-peep compare on that, but in use it is quite nice, not too
big,
and really versatile due to its (handheld) macro capability, and relatively
fast with f/2.8.
The AF is not that fast, and it can hunt a bit due to the long range it can
handle.
Together with the 18-135 WA zoom, this is probably the most used lens on my K5.
It is also a good one to use on the Q, with a K-to-Q converter, equivalent to a
180mm or so,
and going all the way to 1:1 (which is something like 4x6 mm on the Q)
Regards, JvW
