We'll have the DA35 2.4, HD35 2.8 and soon a DFA35 2. None of these quite compete with some other systems. Look at the 35 1.8 from Nikon. It is a decent lens at a good price and it is fast.
I'm not complaining about the difference between 2 and 1.8, more the price!

I'm hoping that is the case as the selling shop offered to get it repaired as the first option. I think that is sensible as it seems to be an issue with the cam-extension mechanism and the AF gearing. A disassembly, clean, oiling and service and reassembly might be all it needs.

The 18-55 (version 2) in all its guises is one of the sharpest lenses I have seen. Considering how little it costs and how much detail it resolves (moire on a lot of sensors) it is amazing for the price.

Thought as much. Just got in touch with the shop, sending it back.
They've offered to see if a service/repair will fix it. I'm happy to try that first. Failing that a refund or a different 35 Macro (they have a second one to compare it with).

Hi all. Just got a second hand DA35 Limited and am trying to figure out if it is mechanically faulty.
As I turn the focusing ring it 'skips' having area that are really loose and others that are really tight. When using autofocus the camera sounds like it is struggling to turn it. For comparison my DFA100WR is completely smooth and problem free and it has a much longer focus throw.
Is this normal for the DA35 Limited or is it faulty and I should send it back?
Optically it appears to be really good.
Compared the the video below it is about 1/3rd the speed:

Instantly recognised where in the world this was. The Dolomites in Italy are one of the most uniquely distinctive mountains in the world. Lovely location and great shots!
It was really weird, as soon as I saw the threat title I felt it was going to be the Dolomites... Odd...

I use a Dell Ultrasharp U2518D Monitor. It is a little over your budget at £300.00 but I think it is worth the difference.
It comes pre-calibrated from the factory with a calibration report as below and has an average dE>1.

This is what you need to do for FF compatibility...

Damn... I mean you saved me £85, but I'm still disappointed...

Still a great lens. Glad they are updating it to continue production.
