The center performance is great straight from the max. aperture whereas the corner performance is slightly lower than expected for a "Limited" lens (still on a very good level in absolute terms). The lens produces only a very slight barrel distortion and quite moderate vignetting but lateral CAs are a bit on the high side for a newly designed fix-focal length lens. The bokeh can be busy at medium focus distances but it seems fine in macro situations. The pricing of the DA 35mm f/2.8 is fairly moderate (~320€/450US$) especially when considering the excellent build quality as well as its macro capabilities. ]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 11:50:58 +0200
