Seriously, I also bought a MD 50mm (but mine is the f/1.7 -very very happy with it!!!), then I bought an MD Zoom 35-70 f/3.5 and now looking for an MD 35mm (the f/1.8 would be awesome but those are rare and expensive) - so I'll probably get an MD 35mm f/2.8

Thanks for the link/info

I've already read something similar... The Rokkor Files - 35mm Shoot-out

Yep, I wouldn't bother with a lens this big/heavy/expensive, which is not the best in its class. If you want to spend a little more dough on a legacy hunt a PEN G 38 down and ENJOY. I'm considering getting another NEX cheap body just to keep this lens permanently attached to it. It's THIS good. I bought it from Kevin right here, and I made a vow of NEVER selling it.

Now I'm just fascinated with this lens after seeing niany's review. The hunt begins...

Check KEH.com. That's where I got mine from. I like them because their grading is very conservative, they have a 14 day hassle free return policy, and a 6 month warranty through their store.

Know how you feel. I do the same thing when I get a new lens.

Striking out on the PEN 38 F1.8. There was one on KEH but it had damaged filter threads but otherwise in EX condition...I dragged my feet and missed it. Ebay has some, either too much $$$ or in not as nice of shape as I'd like. Any ideas on where else to look? I've check FM too...no luck.

Congrats on the lens, ive heard its fab and seen pics to back that up, but You can all stop now, my purse can't afford all these lovely things you all talk about.....like that Pen F 38mm....I like the sound of that.

There was a minty and unexpensive one a while ago at m4-3.com, I almost grabbed it ! But it was about 3 weeks ago so it must be gone by now.

This one?

That's more than I'd like to spend...the one at KEH was just a hair more than $100...this ones nearly twice as much. But I guess if that's the going rate...
