Very interesting test Don. I too own one of these lenses and I'm quite fond of it.
Been playing with it over the past couple of days together with the *ist DS. Here's a sample: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3248328 1/125 @ f11 of f16(?) cropped Taken at Irvine Spectrum. Please excuse the rather harsh lighting. Taken during mid-day. Spring is finally peeking around the corner and people are up and about doing their business. Here's the rest of the gallery: http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=484522 A few shot taken at LAX at night. Sorry for the blurry photos. Anyway the 28mm is really a dandy of a lens. I love it. Hope to see more of your tests of it and the 16-45mm. Francis M.

This is a 'prime' example! (Sorry, couldn't resist.) ;-) These are shot as **** .jpg with medium sharpening 'in camera'. No other processing other than crop and resize. Both lenses *wide open*, focused manually. Tripod mounted. Don ------------------------------ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Personals - Better first dates.
