I'd expect it to be similar to the 28-105 zooms offered previously; probably no faster than f5.6 at the long end. I see this lens as being part of a two-lens kit with the 70-300. Note that they are DA lenses, not DA*; the target demographic is probably price-driven. On Sat, Feb 03, 2007 at

Thanks Godfrey, Paul, David S, Jack D, Tim, Marnie, and Boris for looking and the comments. I was wondering about the sharpness of the photo as it was taken with the FA28 at f6.7 and should be pretty sharp. I went back and put a sharpened version out there, as I seemed to have forgotten to use

Hi, went for another stroll around London to see how the newly acquired 14-54 lens performs. I'm quite pleased with it - it seems to be very sharp. These pictures are straight out the camera with no colour fooling around. Shot raw, iso 100, daylight. If anything it's more saturated than I really

It would have to auto crop to 10 t0 12 megapixels to make me and other DA lens owners happy. Which means it would have to be a full frame sensor on the order of the top of the line camera, which means it would be a $6000 camera. All of that is reason to believe it won't happen. But I'll be

Don't be afraid of RAW. It will expand your horizons significantly. But do get a good RAW converter. PhotoShop CS., CS2 or Elements. Battery life seems to be close to 1000 frames with no built-in flash use and moderate chimping. Paul On Feb 3, 2007, at 4:59 PM, Sandra Hermann wrote:
