I have the so-called new FD 35 F/2, and I find it a fantastic performer - sharp into the corners from about 5.6 and with very little purple fringing. It's very similar overall to the 28 F/2 though I find the far corners on the 28 not quite as good. There's an assessment of the 35 F/2 on an A7R at http://erphotoreview.com/wordpress/?p=4364.

I have the FD 35mm f/2 SSC concave thorium. It's a pleasant lens, and inexpensive, but it is big and heavy. I've enjoyed the output, but it doesn't come with me much.
I have been using the FE 28mm quite a bit on the few weeks I've had it. I didn't expect to, but it's been on my camera 50/50% with my Contax G 45mm. Really nice lens IMHO.
Joshua these are fantastic shots. It's hard to believe such shapes, curves and colors exist in nature, and you have done an outstanding job of capturing their beauty. I hope you plan to put them on the wall or something, as these are images that you can look continually at without tiring.

Hi Michael, thank you so very much! I am flattered you like those images.
Shot the Pro-Am at the Memorial Tournament today. I got several good shots (I'll post more later), but this is the best of the day. A7 II with FD 50-300mm f/4.5L @ 300mm f/4.5
Just back from 3 weeks in and around Olympic Nat’l Park. I’m laying in a supply of caffeine to review 37 pages (!) posted in my absence, and distribute some likes. Meanwhile here are a couple of images to serve as placeholders until I can finish the review and get caught up on all the good stuff I've missed.
