I wouldn't discount it.

I think that it is an easy pick over the 28f2.8. If your comparison were with the f1.8, it would be a tough call - but I am happy with the 35f2. I prefer the focal length on a crop and the lens is sharp.

The 35mm 2.0 I never personally used, but I've seen some excellent photos from it, and most owners seem to really like it. The 28mm 2.8 I have and it has outstanding center sharpness wide open. I would not say that the 35mm an easy pick over the 28mm. Wide open, the 28mm may be slightly sharper, but these are both fine underrated lenses. Both lenses are inexpensive when bought new. Used, the 35mm commands a high price (I think its because many stores are out of stock). The 28mm used can be had very cheaply ($120 - $160).
