It's not a 35mm f2 prime it's the 35mm f2 prime. It is a superb lens and a bargain at that price.
I was thinking of getting it for the times I don't want to lug my 31/1.8 or when my wife is using that one.... but naaah,
31 is 31... that is THE lens

If your house sets on fire, don't let the insurer see this picture of a 60W bulb in a 40W watt fitting.
Nice lens. Is it fire proof?

frankly, I'd love 55/1.2 just shame Pentax never did any
oh well, I'll have to be happy with my Ks (50/1.2 and 55/1.

The numbers speak for themselves.... I don't need to read what someone who only uses the lens for limited time of testing thinks of it....
I mostly take them a glance to see how even the sharpness is and look at the distortion but for the rest I look at the full sizes photos he upload at the end, those are the most useful tools of the whole site.
You can look how the bokeh is, the colours and the contrast, those aren't tested but they are the more important aspect of a lens for me.
Those are the numbers I look at... as for the full size shots. Sometimes I do look sometimes I don't...
But generally you are right here....

Tamron 28-75 is very popular in this segment but it's built quality does leave something to be desired (reportedly as I have never owned it).
And then of course there is Pentax FA*28-70 which many swear by!
Personally I was leaning towards the Sigma Mk1 before I decided to go primes

Seems quite nice, but quite the dollar value on this guy, I mean comon 900 quid for a f1.4 when you can get the 1.2's on canikon for 1100ish?
Frankly, I'm surprised it lasted so long
