It would be nive to hear of your experiences with this lens on the *istD. >it is a bulky lens and moderately heavy with good performance, better >than entry level for sure. That sounds good - especially as the APS-DSLR doesn't use the problematic edges of a wide angle lens. >it's not as good as the 24-90 though. So you like the 24-90 on the *istD? I'm using the 28-105PZ which is fabulous on my MZ-5n, but I'm still not convinced that it works as well on my *istD. I am thinking about getting a 24-90 as it might be a better performer an it is lighter. Maybe the 24-90 was even constructed for a DSLR: it should have been the standard lens for MZ-S _and_ the cancelled MZ-D. Who knows... >while experimenting is that removing the cap portion of the two piece >lens cover doesn't vignette and so i can put thin 82mm filters on the >lens. I know what you mean - sounds very good! Cheers, Heiko
