The friend of mine from the PAW list who first bought a Pentax DS had the FA24/2. He sold it pretty fast because the CA wide open was too much of a bother ... why carry such a heavy, big lens around if you have have to shoot with it stopped down all the time? I had the A24/2.8 : it was a very good lens and I used it a lot. I find the wide-open contrast and overall versatility of the FA20-35/4 more appealing, and the resolution/rendering qualities are almost as good (if not better in some cases). Have fun with the K10D, John! Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
