Those two lenses are my minimal walkaround kit for the *ist-D
(probably to be supplemented by the 12-24 when it comes out).
The 28-105 never ceases to amaze me - for a consumer grade lens
it produces some outstanding results, and focusses down to 18"
or so if you want close-up stuff.
AARRRGGGHHH! NO! I can't afford any enablement right now! Don't tell me stuff
like this!
Sorry, but, let's face it, on film at least 28-105 is extremely useful
range; I actually prefer the 35-135 range, have you seen the SMC-F?
Its shortcoming is long focusing, but it has a "macro" at 135.
