Hi Godfrey - RTF = Retractable Flash
Strange, I don't find the 28-105 blocks the flash at all on the istD or
MZ-S. Is yours the PZ one?

I have the Sigma 18-35/3.5-4.5 ASP AF, and while it's drawing is quite
good it is very flare-susceptible. In addition, the tulip lenshood
blocks part of the light from the RTF on both my modern Pentaxes, so
I'll probably sell it for the new 12-24, or 18-55.
What does RTF stand for?
The standard lens hood (and sometimes the lens) from nearly any wide
angle lens other than the DA18-55 will partially block the D/DS built- in
flash units... The DA14, DA16-24, FA28-105, FA20-35 all block the built
in flash to some degree on my DS. Setting focal length on the zooms to
near 30mm minimizes it, using aftermarket lens hoods does too.
