I saw these and looked into the 35/1.7 but the only review I found stated that it was only sharp in the very centre wide open and the edges didn't sharpen up until f/8. I decided to stick with my old Pentax and Minolta 35mm lenses which are already superb by f/2.8, then I finally bought the Fuji 35/1.4, which is an amazing lens.

I don't see the point in the 28mm or 50mm lenses as you can buy old lenses with exactly the same functionality, better build quality and a lower price. Probably better image quality too. For 28mm go with the Sigma mini-wide 28/2.8, though I'm sure there are others out there just as good. For a 50mm there are scores of different ones - for a 50/1.7 try the Pentax M or the Minolta Rokkor, both incredible lenses.

great points,   ive many legacy lenses   and   they are a blast to shoot with and generally high quality ,,,,i just am glad to see more makers adding to selection,,,, too bad about the iq
