Very nice. I have the 3.5 and 3.2, I had the same version of 3.5 shown here but sold it because i have an earlier all metal silver band 3.5 I preferred. I have the Hexar 3.5 too. They are all very good, trying to determine a 'best' is a waste of time imho as they are all more than capable.

Yes, I was planning to do some sort of a test but unfortunately I never find the time. And now I'm letting go of the larger part of my collection.

The UC 28/1.8 is a very special lens. Very rare, very expensive, very good, very fast and has a close focus of only 18cm. Unique. But that is for another thread...

Between the 3.5 and the 3.2, I prefer the 3.2 for two reasons: it has better build quality (less plastics used than for the 3.5) and it focuses down to 1 meter (1.5 m for the 3.5). That ½ m is quite alot when it comes to a 135 mm lens.
