3. FA28-105 mm f/3.2-4.5 AL IF (Newer)
I have this one. It's a fine lens ... lightweight, small, sharp, nice
short focus throw. A very good choice for all around use on the DS.
If I didn't already have this one, I'd likely go for the
FA24-90/3.5-4.5 AL ... It's a bit larger, more expensive, but nets a
useful increase in field of view at the wide end and a bit better
wide-open performance on the long end.
The other mid-range zoom I have that is something of a sleeper is the
F35-70/3.5-4.5 Macro. Small and light, normal to portrait tele on the
DS. A fine lens for the grand total of $40 from KEH.com.
