The point was made that the 35 S ASPH is a better "all around" lens, and might be the better investment for the shooter who can't have everything. B.

Whomever was the original poster of the question it would be very much appreciated if you'd please re-post and why you asked the question as it would be very helpful. Thank you. ted
