The test results of the DA 35/2.4 caused a tiny havoc among the Pentax users. Especially, if its resolution surpasses the one of 3-4 times more expensive 35/2.8 Macro and 35/2 lenses. However, while this lens has been tested with K-5 (16 Mp sensor with maybe a weaker AA filter), the other lenses were tested with much older, 10 Mp Pentax camera. Like the test results of the same (3-rd party) lens cannot be compared if they were conducted with different cameras, I assume that the same should apply to the DA 35/2.4 lens test results. They cannot be (at least the lens resolution) compared with the test results of previously tested lenses. To make the test results better comparable, I would strongly suggest (if it is possible) to re-test at least the lens resolution of this lens with the same camera as it was used for the previous tests. Then compare the both test results. Such a way we would get a kind of "metrics" (like for example, K-5 squeezes 4% higher resolution then the previous, 10 Mp camera), which could help us to make similar comparisons in the future.
