Re: flash on *istDs (was: Survey D and DS result)

[Herb Chong]

it's more or less the same reason i hardly ever use the FA* 24/2 on my 
*istD. the CA is too high. i used it a lot on the film camera and the CA 
wasn't as objectionable. it's a sharp lens, but not as sharp as the DA 
16-45/4.

I can vouch for selling the FA24/2 to get the DA 16-45.  On digital,
the DA 16-45 is the better lens, being as sharp or sharper in some
cases and less CA.  The CA is really the biggest problem with the
FA24/2 on digital - it was one of my favorite lenses on film.
