Most zoom lenses just don't make it for the kind of thing I want when doing street work, the only one that seems an exception to me is the FA20-35 due to its modest size and light weight.

Re: PESO - Duly Noted
Frank, you need a fast 50mm or 35mm equivalent. Say a 24mm or 35mm f2.0. The M 35mm is a lovely match for the *ist-D and feels much like a 50 f1.7 does the MX. It would be perfect if it weren't for the lack of aperture information being communicated from lens to body. I haven't actually used an A 35 f2.0 but I think that would be close to perfect, if I could get on for not too much money. The FA 24 f2.0 would fit be bill as a fast ~35mm except is seems to be a bit of beast next to the diminutive M 35. frank theriault wrote: On 5/7/07, Digital Image Studio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Interesting, you've even recorded the weave textures, not so Theriaultean :-) So now that you've been digitized for a couple of months what's your feelings on this new to you mode of light recording?
