I'm sure Pentax is surpassed at times, but I'm surprised at your statements
concerning the following comparisons:
1) FA 35/2.0 AL versus Zeiss Jena 35/2.4 (M42)
I would bet that resolution will be better for the Pentax, especially in
the corners at at any f-stop below f4. I'm not sure in what

Here is where it matters, and is something that would probably
not occur to non professional print film users.
If one is shooting a job on chrome film and has a mish mosh of
lenses from different manufacturers, then it will be impossible
to get a consistent look. Art
One reason many Pentax users covet their lenses as they do is simply because
the finest Pentax lenses are not a dime-a-dozen as they are with other makes.
This gives us the feeling that when we are able to acquire a good lens, say
the 20mm f2.8 vs. the more commom f4, we want to dance.

This would also seem to be the definition of

company that makes/made decent lenses and bodies. If
you're into the joy of collecting, then this is

You're right about the 35/2 FA; I had forgotten about this autofocus lens.
I guess I stand corrected about the Sigma 50 macro being sharper than the
Pentax 50/2.8 FA. It sharpness is nothing short of phenomenal. Yoshihiko

I suppose of all my lenses, the SMC Tak 105mm f2.8 is my favorite. It still
