Well, that's the kind of character I'm looking for. When lenses were
designed for B&W film, I guess there wasn't much tweaking for color. With
color as the way to go later in the century, saturation was the way to go.
And with that came contrast (which I can do without). Although I'm not a
praticer of the Zone System, I would like to see all of those zones
represented in an image.

Right now, I'm pursuing the 35/2.8, which is more of a challenge than the
35/3.5.

Very happy with it. Good performance for its time, still a very good lens, 
although obviously very different from present lenses in character.
