Speaking of wide angle primes, I was out trying to shoot holiday lighting in the downtown area. I started around dusk & lingered until it got totally dark. A tripod would have helped, but not possible. The best I could do was a SMC-F 50mm/1.7 for low light vs a Tokina 20-35mm zoom less well suited for low light, but better among the buildings. I got to thinking about a wide angle prime. Either a 28mm/2.8 or a 35mm/2, preferably F or FA series. Any opinions from the list? Thanks, Pat in SF __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
