If you want a 35mm have a look for the old M 35-70mm, it's an f2.8 at the wide end and has excellent reviews. I know I was very happy with the test shots from mine, although I don't use it on digital as manual zooms are a bit of a pain. I bought it to use on my MX, where it's a very good fit.

Weirdly the M 35mm primes seem a bit rare of late, I don't see many up for grabs.

I'm not sure luddite is quite the right word when you're advocating using new technology rather than old!


FWIW I love my CZJ 35 to bits but I wouldn't buy one at the prices they are now either. The single main reason I havn't sold mine is that I suspect I'd regret it, and wouldn't be able to justify the cost of getting another one.
you don't have to be mad to post here



but it does help

.........M 35-70/2.8 used one with my KX,MX & LX bodies for years, great lens, paired with the M 24-35/3.5....wonderful! With the addition of the A 70-210/4 later you could hardly go wrong for a 3 lens kit
