I find the 15mm f/3.5 very useful on the ist-D. True, it works like a 22mm would on a full-frame (film) SLR, but that's a useful focal length for me :) I've also tried the Zenitar 16mm fisheye. It is also very useful on the ist-D. Very wide angle of view and the fisheye distortion can be corrected in Photoshop if you want. It's not as sharp as a Pentax lens and exhibits really bad flare, but it's a bargain for the price. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
