Hi Ed: I didn't say that it is a "distortion free" lens. It has some distortion at both ends, 28 mm. and 70 mm., but it is not very visible except if you want the better quality in, say, architecture photography, but in such case you would use a prime, not a zoom lens. The FA 28-70 has excellent flare resistance, very good contrast and more than acceptable sharpness for a wide angle to short tele zoom, in my view, and if Philip is looking for a good zoom lens for a budget, I think it is one of the best choices. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Carlos Royo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zaragoza (Aragon) - Spain ------------------------------------------------------------------ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
