And just to confuse the issue, it really depends whether your personal definition of a standard lens is a lens that provides a near 1:1 ratio in the finder or a "normal" AOV on the print. By my reckoning a 50mm lens on the *ist D won't provide me with the final image that a "normal" lens should provide on the print hence my normal lens for use with the *ist D would likely be a 31mm.
