Thanks Joe. I want it for my *ist D, so I prefere the AF version. It' quite a cheap alternative to the 24-90 and I don't really need the last 40mm for APS-C size sensor. Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt
-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Joe Wilensky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 27. oktober 2004 18:27 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: RE: F24-50 I had an F24-50 for a while with a PZ-1 and PZ-1p. Very nice results and handling, and nearly as good as the 24-90 (at least from 24-50mm!), which I purchased later. I sold the F24-50 and got the A24-50, which is a lovely, solid-feeling zoom that has the same optical formula of the F. Of course it doesn't have autofocus, but it seems more compact than the F and handles nicely on the smaller bodies, with or without winder/grips.

I will consider getting the 24-50, since I use special lenses >(2.8/20mm) for special occaitions anyway.
