I liked the earlier fisheye zoom, but never quite got round to buying it. Most of the time if I want extreme wide angle I'm not going to be bothered by the fisheye effect (and would often find it advantageous), plus as noted above it's not too hard to remove (almost all) the effects in post processing. The 12-24 is nice, but it's significantly more expensive (and I'm assuming I'll have the 16-50, so I will have the 16-24 part of the range covered). The cheaper and wider 10-17 tempts me. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
