If you're looking for super sharp slides, the FA28-90 is probably not the best lens. My sample is a bit soft for my taste, though it's fine for print film. If you can actually scrounge up some decent glass for shooting slides I think you'll be pleased with it.
Since you're already familiar with the *istDL, the *ist should be second nature. As others have stated, your M lenses will be almost useless, since you can't stop them down for metering. However, I've found that screw mount lenses are pleasant to use. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com Shoot more film! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
