I have just wasted valuable time reading this useless thread

Stefan - Not exactly a like for like comparison

With the DA35 shot the only area in focus is a band on the right hand side.

Having done a bit more reading/searching I've added another couple of options to my list..

Pentax smc DA 35mm f2.8 Macro.

Sigma EXDC 30mm f/1.4

I notice that a thread has just been created on the Sigma, seems positive. As the Pentax 35mm is a macro lens does this have any implications for using it for landscape work ?

thanks

Simon
I have just bought the DA 35 Macro Limited but have not used it yet.

It is extremely well made and has a very neat built-in lens hood that slides out. It has been well received and at the moment is a bargain (£289 from SRS).

Superb lens, one of the best (note the spelling of lens - not lense).
Agreed.

...........Received the call today to say it was in, went along and was charged the princely sum of £9.97.
Happy days.
Great bargain but I doubt if Jessops bankers would think so

My first Pentax was a KX and I wish that I still had it (for sentimental reasons).

I use the Pentax O-ME53 and wouldn't go back to the standard Eyecup.
I don't wear glasses when photographing and haven't had any problems with it fogging up, it must be your hot steamy breath Matt

Its always on the camera and great for manual focusing when doing macro

I agree and have two of them.

At least I know who to blame - dry for weeks and now when I am sailing tomorrow, the forecast is for heavy thunderstorms
