Don't you find the 35/f2 pretty stunning? I know I did. Spend the money on other focal lengths like to 70ltd. But really you want someone to tell you that your heart is right - so go for it!

thanks for your comment Mike! Actually you have a very good point in the first part of your reply, I guess a 70 ltd would be a great portrait lens!

It is a bitingly sharp lens with the excellent Pentax rendering of colours. It also very compact but sadly no longer as cheap as you'd wish - I got one for £300 as I recall.

I would buy it for 600 euros - try it out and if you don't prefer it to the 35 you can always sell it on again for the same (or possibly more) money.

I agree. You shouldn't have any problems selling it on again at that price.I would buy it for 600 euros - try it out and if you don't prefer it to the 35 you can always sell it on again for the same (or possibly more) money.
Where did you say it was for sale, BTW?

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I think you convinced me. I will take it!
Kris, the lens it's in Finland. But if I should decide I do not want to keep it, I will let you know

Now I have the opportunity of buying a FA 31 ltd for 600 euros. It is in as new conditions, only a few months old and I think it was never used.
My heads tells me I do not really need it, I should invest my money elsewhere. But I have read so much about it that I wonder if this is an offer one cannot refuse.
I would really appreciate your views.....
