No big deal. What I see in the viewfinder is what I get. In most of my photography my problem is getting close enough, not farther away. For wide angle work, I'm pretty happy with the FA 20-35 and I can always use the Zenitar 16mm Fisheye if I want something wider.
Nikon has a 12-24mm zoom on the way so I'm sure Pentax has plans for something similar. If someone just *has* to have film, I will gladly shoot film but I encourage them to try digital. Sometimes I shoot both and see if they can tell the difference from looking at the prints. The great majority can't tell the difference.
