When I had the DA16-45, A24/2.8 and FA20-35 all at the same time, I did a test at the 24mm focal length. The best of the lot was the A24/2.8, the FA20-35 came in second and the DA16-45 third.
That said, the differences between all three lenses was quite small, in practical terms. I preferred the A24 and FA20-35 rendering at corners/edges, particularly wide open, and the A24 - FA20-35 were very much alike in this respect. This was the test that convinced me I only needed the FA20-35, other than for the additional speed of a prime. I still pine for a fast 28 prime ... ;-) Godfrey On Jun 24, 2006, at 2:18 PM, Bruce Dayton wrote: > Since you had a chance to work with the lens, I'm wondering if you > were able to compare it to any other 24mm lens.
