Yep, Kieth - it must be the one, even though I wrote F3.5 byside the shots on my web site. All the best

This photograph was shot with the Vivitar: > http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt/DreamHC/Side4.html Is that anything like Vivitar's f/3.8 19mm lens? I have one of those, and except for the sides of buildings bent inwards if I'm taking cityscapes (but all 19mm lenses do that) in most of the shots it's hard to tell it's a very wide angle... Sold new for $259.95, I think I bought it for $139. Unless a fairly new Pentax-A 19mm more or less fell into my lap, I wouldn't get rid of this one for any reason! I've come to depend on it. keith whaley > all the best > Jens Bladt > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt > > > -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- > Fra: Ramesh Kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sendt: 26. marts 2004 21:04 > Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Emne: Wideangle lens choice > > > I am planning to buy *istD and so looking at the wide > angle lens to replace my 24mm. > I find replacements are too expensive and have some > doubts. > > I was looking at 15mm lenses.
