I used to take most of my pictures with an SMCT 85/1.8, and thought that I'd have real trouble with not having a lens of equivalent angle on the *istD. So I bought a 24-70 zoom, even though I don't like zooms. But now I'm finding that a 50mm on the *istD, equivalent to 75mm on the old film bodies, is quite close enough. I don't even notice the difference; I just stand a little closer. --- John Dallman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
