Yes, but I was hardly impressed with the WA view that my A16/2.8, A15/23.5 and A20/2.8 provided on my *ist D. Yes I could replace them with DA glass but from my limited experience I don't think I'd be overly impressed by the results. My DA16-45 is just about to hit the market. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
