The FA35 was discontinued almost as soon as the DA35 was introduced, and
probably hadn't been in production for several years before that. I
doubt very much it was hurt by it.

I think that the FA35 f2 was hurt more by the perceived quality of the
DA35 f2.4 at a much lower price point. It was good enough that people
don't seem to mind the loss of a 1/2 stop for half the price. But it
is true that a full frame Pentax DSLR would cry out for that lens
again.

Been that way for the last couple of years now. I remember when the FA35mm
was a real bargain, at $300.00 and being highly annoyed when just about the
time I decided to invest in one they disappeared. I must admit I've saved a
lot of money that way recently.

It wasn't that long ago that Pentax was listing the FA35/2 listed on their
site.
Maybe it's been longer than I imagine. Anyway, that one is gone now.
They're down to 4 of the old film lenses. The 3 classic LTDs and
FA50/1.4.
