I looked back at about a year's worth of images and found that a startling number of my photos of people (at family gatherings and parties) were shot at or very close to 28mm. So I did an experiment on Christmas - put the A28 f/2.8 on the front of the DS and just shot with that all day. Made for a much smaller package than with the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8! I think if I had that 31mm limited it would work for me too... but it probably won't happen in this lifetime! -Charles -- Charles Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
