Not cheap exactly, but then good examples rarely are.

But of course, thats why you come here! Well done on hitting the button!

Seriously though, I and I suspect others here would be interested in hearing about your experience with your new acquisition. Perhaps in due course you might provide some feedback and your thoughts on owning and using the new 35mm f2.8.

As Harisf1 says, light but not flimsy, very portable great focal range and increasingly hard to find in good condition. Surprised Mr P is selling really as out of his present sales crop, this would be the most difficult to replace. I've just recently acquired Pentax' latest 28-105 but as fab as it is, I most certainly won't be parting with my 24-90 any time soon.

Snap it up before he changes his mind!

My apologies, looks like you are right. I'll try again:-

Hope there might be something here to throw some light (no pun intended) on your issue.

That's hardly convincing him is it

Lol.. Hardly!

You're not wrong and in hindsight my comment a bit rich considering my signature - when what he was really looking for was support to go and buy.
Looking at this from an LBA standpoint, I don't suppose it really matters whether the lens will ever be used or not as LBA alone can be just as rewarding and satisfying in its own rite as is the medium of photography. There is great pleasure and fun to be had in researching a lens and its qualities, perceived or otherwise. And then the thrill of the search, the excitement of the chase, bid or barter, the eager anticipation of the postmans knock followed by the feverish unboxing and finally culminating with the object of one's desire in hand, the first look, tactile examination and smug feeling of satisfaction. I could drone on more but suffice it to say, if you RobL want a shiny new FA35mm f2.0 then GO FOR IT NOW while the desire is still strong and the tempting offer from SRS still valid.

What more convincing do you need? Indulge and enjoy!

SIGMA EX Aspherical 17-35mm f2.8-4 Don't see that many in Pentax mount. Will see how it compares to my Pentax FAJ 18-35.

Spring is still springing and if you don't use the weather as a yardstck by which to measure it you'll find it's still glorious.

And I agree with your missus, you should have saved her passwords. What were you thinking of? Shame on you!!!.....

What looks like a bargain proves only a bargain if one makes use of the item purchased. If on the contrary said item sits on a shelf forlorn and gathering dust for x years, then it's a waste of money.

I wonder! Is it need or want that tempts you? Some heart searching may be in order me thinks.
