In search of the list wisdom...
I am considering enabling me with a 35mm wide for my 645, and
would like to get the views of the list users who have used this
manual focus lens:
How good is it wide open?
Very good.
How good is it at the best aperture?
Excellent+. I think the 45-85 and 120/4 are sharper. It's about on par
with the 75, I guess.
I don't really do comparisons or strict lens tests.
Any flare problem?
Not really. Seems to get about the same amount of flare as any other
Pentax WA.
The FA might be better in this regard as it has a dedicated tulip
hood. I think it was optically redesigned too.
Apart from the obvious wider field of view, is it sharper than
the A-45mm/2.8 ?
Couldn't say, I haven't got any film back from my FA 45 to compare.
I've used Tom's 35mm f3.5 and it *is* very good! I only used it for a day
and didn't take a lot of shots with it, but I really liked the ones I did
get.
