I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.

I took it after 50mm f / 1.8G AF-S, because in many situations it was too narrow (I shoot on crop), I wanted to have a wider viewing angle.
Well, I'mcomparing. Both of them are neat, miniature andcompact, I have nocomplaints about the build quality. Nothing backlash, no creaks, everything is fine. 35mm is even smaller. The lens hood, worn "in reverse", does not allow you to turn the focus on both lenses, you have to carry the lens hoods separately in your bag.
About turning the focus wheel:
At 50mm, the rotation is generally smoother, plus after going to the extreme position, it becomes more difficult to turn the wheel and you will definitely notice it.
At 35mm, there is the same "nut" in the extreme position, i. E. you will feel that you have reached the extreme position, but at the same time the wheel spins with about the same ease. If you turn the wheel quickly, then the extreme position can be missed, which is excluded by 50mm.
These are small things, ofcomurse. But 50mm doesn't limp that much, that's for sure.
Here are examples of XA with 35mm (I didn’t try to specifically call them, I was already upset looking at the results of shooting in lightroom):
1) . Me/v608629672/4b49/jw2acVSz104. Jpg (ISO200, f/2.5,1/400)
Here by car.
2) . Me/v608629672/4b53/mHcn6dbz-so. Jpg (ISO800, f/3.5, 1/200)
Here on the windows.

Pros

Not very expensive for a 35mm ultrasonic motor. Although, it would be possible to drop the price of interest by 30-40%.

Cons

Not weak such chromatic aberrations. If there is a contrasting (not necessarily very strong) object between the object you are focusing on and the background, you cannot do without a wide green edging on it. The rotation of the focus wheel is less informative than on other lenses I have tried. : I'm changing the review to add that autofocus is not so perfect. In poor lighting, it smears catastrophically, in good lighting - a little more often than fifty dollars.
