Hi Arnie/Bruce,
I've got the Sigma EX 28-70 2.8. I think it's great bang for buck, assuming
you get it mail order. In the shops here in Australia it costs way tooo
much, and I learnt that the hard way. I've found it really sharp at 5.6-8,
and the build quality's great. It also stops down to f32
Er.. Stan pointed out the 20 35 f4's a 58mm thread Herb..

Hi all,
Was just browsing thru some ultrawides, and I can't really decide which one
I want. I'll just think aloud and any help's appreciated.
These are the ones I'm looking at:
Primes
1. Pentax FA 20mm f/2.8 (f/2.8~22, 67mm) USD$485 (BH)
2. Sigma EX 20mm f/1.8 (f/1.8~22, 82mm) USD $360 (BH)
can't put any filter in front without severe vignetting. the newer
Sigma
17-35 might be an exception.

Furthermore, it's incredibly good value considering what you'd pay. If you
look at the cost difference between the FA 28-70 2.8 and the EX 28-70 2.8
LOL Nice description Boris.. so I guess we're all prepared for when
post-apocalyptic earth is infested with steel-munching Zenits. Humans will
stay alive as long as they have fingers! :)

Or the silver MZ S.. I suspect it was an attempt to lift Japan's economy
even if it was in the form of 1 or 2 Take-me-to-your-Pentax-dealer
tourists.. sigh.

All have not missed a beat, all are well built and focus fast and the
70-200 (with HSM) has fast and quiet AF, although I normally use manual
which is a
simple case of overriding the AF by turning the focus ring.
hmm Cotty.. with HSM I hear you say?
:)

Heya Cotty
Yeah I know it's pretty decent.. I'm saving up for one now.. just that the
only ones with HSM are Canon and Nikon.. The Pentax and Minolta versions are
HSMless.. missing some circuits. Unfortunately for P and M, even the third
party manufacturers pay more attention to C and N. For
not.

This one's off topic, but it's funny. I was on Ebay looking around looking
for a Diana or a Holga (no Aussie sellers, much to my disappointment), and I
suddenly was quite captivated by a Lubitel 166 Universal (any users?).
Anyway, I clicked to see the seller's other items, and noticed a Leica

work nice.
It's the very good condition that sort of lends doubt to the rest,
doesn't it...

Other things which might be of interest to you, the 360 comes with an
inbuilt catchlight and wide angle thingie for 24mm (if not it's 28-80,
while
the AF500FTZ is 24 to 85 I think)
Not exactly true. AF360 covers 24-85mm and 20mm with built-in
Stofen doesn't seem to make it for the AF360FGZ.. Anyone know of similar
alternatives?
