Under $300 fast 35mm options... opinions.

im sure its nice but its so easily overshadowed by the nikkor f1.8 version.

And as far as I can tell... neither one can be found for less than $300.

What are you planning to do with the bits ?

parts that were salvageable went into a bin, in case I need them. But honestly, I vented ALOT of frustration on that lens. Many parts were not usable again. Chalk it up to my inherited temper.

Does anyone heard about the Tokyo Kogaku 35/2.8 Topcor in screw mount?
IIRC, it should sell at around the price of 300 USD.
I'de be very curious to read some impression and comments about it.
Thanks.

The Ultron 35/1.7 is sharp enough. Here is an example:
