And, Heiko, do you like it?

Yes, I do. But I have to admit, that I don't like it as enthusiastically  
on the *istD as I did when I used it on my MZ-5n. Why? I prefer 35mm  
instead of 53mm ;-) Overall the FA35/2 seems to be a very good performer  
on the *istD but there isn't this aha experience that I had when I saw  
my first tack sharp pictures taken with the MZ-5n.

But I'm quite sure that I have to get more experienced with the *istD  
and its lens combinations before I can judge this reliably.

Cheers, Heiko

I've noticed (well, to be honest actually I 've been using it with *istD for
two days only) that it performs very good on *istD except for chromatic
aberrations - these has been higher than with FA 24-90 (as a matter of fact
24-90 has shown the least of these interferences among my lenses, perhaps
because it has been really made with MZ-D in mind...)

Hi Bruce,

This certainly becomes one of the problems with a DSLR.

I remember a friend of mine
ended up selling most of his lenses (Nikon guy) after going digital
because the 1.5 magnification factor made his old lenses the wrong
lengths for his preferences.

FullACK. At the moment I fell quite similar. Not that I want to sell any  
lenses, but you have to redefine the purpose and use of any lens. That  
takes time and experience. Unfortunately I have not much time at the  
moment... :-(

*ist D and FA35/2

2003-11-19 Thread Paul Ewins 
I'm thinking of replacing my M35/2 with the FA35/2. Has anyone used this
on the *ist D? Did you like it or not? I'm using an FA24/2 or F50/1.4 as
my normal lens on the *ist D and neither feels right.

I have used it a bit. It has been overall nice, althought I have noticed
some chromatic aberrations. If you want, I can send you some unaltered JPEGs
for your own evaluation.

I have this combination. Do you have a large Mailbox and fast ISP? Then  
I can mail you some pictures (10-30MB - how much do you want? ;-))
