I can only go from general principles as I have no direct experience with either lens. However if Pentax tells the truth and the DA is optimized for an APS-C sensor I'd expect that there could be more light fall off in the edges and corners of the frame of an APS-C camera. Otherwise I'd expect sample variation to have more of an effect on image quality than the actual differences between the two designs.

Hello all,

I'm thinking about replacing my trusted M 2/35 mm through a AF lens. A look at Bojidar's website has taught me that the M has 7 elements in 7 groups while the FA and DA versions both have 6 elements in 5 groups where one is an aspherical element.

Is there anyone who's ever been able to compare any two of all three of them? How similar are the FA and DA versions optically?

I'm quite happy with the M's optical quality but my eyes aren't as good anymore as they used to be and focussing is getting a little difficult.

Ralf
