I'm still not as settled as I was with my full frame lens line-up and that's 
after shooting over 4000 images.

My 31mm was my defacto standard lens on my 35mm film bodies, I really like the 
AOV as it lends its self to a lot of the type of shooting I do. So I had high 
expectations for the FA*24/2 on my new *ist D, unfortunately my hopes were 
dashed. I've ended up back with the 31LTD on the *ist D which whilst not a bad 
thing isn't where I'm really comfortable. Since I sold my A24/2.8 I tend to 
just straight from the 31mm to the 20mm which is quite a leap in AOV.
