I'm coping just fine so far, but I would like to get the FAJ 16-whatever when it's available. Currently my shortest rectilenear is a Sigma 24-50 and a Zenitar 16 fisheye. Since I'm using only the center portion, the distortion is lessened somewhat. For wildlife photography my Tamron 70-300 is now a 105-450, much better for this purpose. > Are you using the *ist D in parallel with film bodies? Not really. The versatility of having variable ISO and adjustable white balance beats either switching between bodies or changing film and/or filters for different subjects. Also, for my purposes, I find my inkjet prints using P.I.M. II and nik sharpener pro far exceed the quality of minilab prints, at least up to 11x14. Bill
