At a 3m subject distance my A*85/1.4 definitely shows narrower field of view than my FA24-90 at 90mm. However what I noticed is that the magnification seems far more affected by focal distance using the zoom so at an effective infinity subject distance it may well measure more like 90mm (or ~87mm) Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
