I think the FA28/2.8AL is Pentax's most underrated lens. It's a very nice 28 indeed. About the only criticism I've heard is a bit of light fall-off when wide open (I've never used mine wide open so I can't say). I love mine on my film cameras - should work a treat on an *ist-D! -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
