Sometimes its great, my 300mm 2.8 becomes an incredibly fast & sharp 450
2.8! But many times its a pain in the a$$; at the wide end, I'm having
trouble with a good walking around lens. I have a gap between very wide
(15-30 zoom, 15 fisheye) and med wide (28 ) and then to normal (50). My
28 is an M lens, so now I have a really big gap that nothing in my bag
will fill satisfactorly. That's why I'm waiting for the 16-45 da lens
coming next month. I think it will solve this problem handily. The
only other lens I have that crosses part of this range is a 35-135 zoom
which I find somewhat inferior optically.
I loaded one of my film bodies with Kodachrome 64 this weekend. I have
yet to take a shot with it..... sad...

So how are *ist D users coping with the lens mag factors and are some lenses
now less useful than they were on film bodies?
Are you using the *ist D in parallel with film bodies?
