Oh well, wish it was, but the design of a faster lens is very often very different, so the performance is different.

Probably are quite different, UC 1.8/28 is twice the size and has 8 elements in 8 groups. EE 3.5/28 is 7 elements in 7 groups.

I hope so... if not I was spending too much money 
That's what www.buhla.de says about:
| Quote: |
| The UC Hexanon AR 28 mm / F1.8 is an extremely good performer and renders razor-sharp images with high contrast. In terms of sharpness, it is definitely superior to any ot the 28 mm / F3.5 lenses from Konica, although these also are nice lenses. There are no visible barrel or pincushion distortions. |
Attila can hopefully tell more when testing this lens. And another thank you for helping me to get this lens.

Today I had a chance to test lens and play with it, due awful wheather I did went to St Stephen Basilica it was pretty dark outside and inside both, much darker than I did take pictures before there. Camera is Sony NEX-3 , all shoots are wide open, taken handheld and only lightened some picture due I forgot camera on -0,7 EV. No pp on pictures, I will publish later pictures in Gallery with proper PP.
ISO1600-3200 Click on each images to get higher resolution 1600px wide images!

Whoa, that's some performance wide open for such a fast wide angle! Quite a beautiful effect in rendering too, the slight glow in the first few especially is beautiful! Looks better at longer distances. |

Good performance and...not a bargain ,instead ! 
I'd like one too , but they are too pricey. In 28mm only Canon and Sigma are offering f1.8 ,both AF if I am not wrong .
