24mm lens with extremely bad barrel distortion. It's neither fish nor fowl. I wouldn't invest for that sole purpose.
The lens itself has a great reputation for what it is and on a 35mm camera I'd love to have it, but not for the *ist-d.
(Just my opinion but you may not mind barrel distortion).

What is known about the Pentax SMC-A 16/2.8? Any opinions? It is a fisheye. On an istD would the fisheye be as extreme as on film?
