I agree, but so sad somebody swiped the LX moniker....

For the price, you cannot go wrong.
In fact at most prices you cannot go wrong.

Last Friday I did all the formal shots for a Corporate dinner, knowing that I would get great results. And indeed I did. It is a plastic fantastic (the body and bayonet that is, not the optics).

As for improvement over the Kit lens, it is a no-brainer, you will see a noticable improvement in image quality.

I would fully understand if others recommend the more expensive 35mm Limited Macro, or the mighty 31mm Limited, but especially considering the price, the 35mm F2.4 is a massive bargain.
even if you have the more expensive lenses, get this one anyways....
I had a comercial video shoot for a national magazine filming a cooking show.
I was able to use my kr and 35 2.4 to film sizzling food in the pan, and to be honest, I took the position, that if hot oils splashed and ruined the lens, it would be easier to replace... and it delivered the goods, optically so no compromises either, for that job.

Well I'd argue that you are a PU customer Chris, you use a PU product (the forum) which is supplied to you at no charge.

Now what is that saying .... ah yes, the customer is always right.
That is what the sign by the cash register says.... but you should hear what gets said about the customers back in the lunch room!

I plan on being rich, mostly because I didn't expect to live this long, and failed to plan for retirement... therefore getting dirty, filthy, stinking rich is the best option for me.
