Yes, you can, although in this range I already have other lenses. In fact this, along with the DA40 case, was one of the reasons that made me think that the DA70 might work well in 24x36.
BTW, I have an almost finished Superia 200 roll in my MZ-5n taken exclusively with my 18-55 @ 18mm. Even with the vignetting, it is an unusual FOV for me so I decided to try it just for fun. Let's see how it comes out. (It is my first roll of film in a year and I missed a lot the ability to switch to iso 800 for indoors) ----- Mensaje original ---- De: Thibouille <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Para: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> Enviado: miércoles, 17 de enero, 2007 12:24:34 Asunto: Re: Pentax DA70 lens has arrived ... Jaume, you can use some DA zoom lense on a certain zoom range. The 18-55 is usable in the upper range like 35-55 or something I didn't test thouroughly. 2007/1/17, Jaume Lahuerta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thanks to all for your interesting insights.
