The 43ltd isn't so bad, it is a fast prime however. The 20-35 FA is
much better as well, also a stop faster. Based on my experience
with Canon Products they don't do much better in dim light with slow
lenses either, oh if only we all could afford f2.8 and faster glass...

Obviously you didn't try it in dim light, then it has a very hard time
with focus lock. But other than that it's a lovely lens.

I'm feeling happy. This morning I got the F 70-210mm 4.0-5.6 zoom I
bought on Ebay and did some preliminary tests. It is very very good:
- even wide open at 210mm it clearly outperforms the *ist CCD
- it focuses fast!

Every lens on the D focuses poorly in low light. It is the camera, not
the lenses.
Congratulations on getting this lens. I use it too. It is indeed quite
good wide open at the long end. Now if someone would just test it
systematically against the DA 50-200.
