I have the 24mm f1.8 EX DG AF macro - I use it on a D60 as a street lens sometimes - the macro facility is very good. I haven't used this on a film body so don't know what it's like at the edge of the frame. It crops in to about 38mm on the D60. The build quality is not up to Pentax standards, nor Canon's for that matter. I find the focus ring, with its clutch-type push/pull affair flimsy, and I'm not a big fan of Smegma lenses. I have the 70-200 2.8 which is much better, but still not my cupofteaearlgreyhot. The latter will soon be up for sale as I enter the heart-stopping realm of Canon L glass..... > >I need wide primes that are fast because I use them indoors.

The widest prime I've got is the FA 24 >f2.0, but its aov on the *ist D isn't wide enough. > >I thought about the Mir 20 mm. f2.5, but it is so thick at the rear that >it may not fit under the *ist D's prism. I'm sure the Sigma will be fine, glass-wise - AFAIK it gets good write- ups. I would, however, heavily advise that you handle this lens before buying. If you like what you feel, then go for it!
