I've ordered one, at that price it's worth snapping one up.
Best regards, John

Back up to £199 again now. Still, amazing price. Seems like they also sell the SMC version for 100 more which makes no sense.
Also looks like they‘ve discounted – though not by as much – all the silver versions of the DA “limiteds”.

The lens arrived safely today (Sunday) in a box all sealed so brand new in every respect. Nice bayonet fit petal lens hood plus lens case all included.
Best regards, John

Wow, that's an excellent price, much better than I paid for mine a few years ago which was the best price I'd ever seen before now.
Jessops no longer show the HD 35/2 on their site, just the older (and more expensive) SMC model...

I noticed this on the ephotozine review John, the original SMC-FA 35/2 also had a bayonet-fit petal hood as standard, not quite as sexy as the optional clip-on rectangular hood for the older FA50s but still a nice round petal hood that makes the lens a bit more prominent on the front of my P50/K-1/Z-1p..

I bought my SMC-FA 35/2 from Microglobe for £199 a few years ago, just before the price shot up (about the same time I bought my FA50/1.4 from SRS for £165)...
At the time the area around Microglobe had a few dealers, but casting my mind back a few years Jessops classic were just opposite the British Museum and Fox Talbot classic on the Strand. The good old days!!
