Joe,
I will take some shots as soon as we get some clear weather over here and post them.

Subject: Re: SMC D FA 100mm Macro f2.8 (er, and hello)
"Can't tell you how the new lens behaves, but the FA 100 macro is plagued with an unpleasant chromatic aberration when used with the *istD. Like you, I never have had any gripes with this lens on film cameras."
Jostein, can you post an example somewhere? I have used the FA 100 f2.8 on my D for many photos, and haven't noticed this. Have you noticed the problem in macro mode, on distance shots, or both? (I have felt that the FA 100 f2.8 has only mediocre performance for distance shots, but I love it's macro performance.)
For the original poster (David): Jens may have confused you. The D FA lens you are asking about will work equally well on 35 mm. film cameras or on the D or DS. It is the DA lenses that are intended for the smaller image circle of the current digital SLRs.
And welcome. That's an astute question for a first-time poster.
Joe
