My theory is that it will be exactly the size that they make it! ;-) I'd love the 28mm. That translates to right around 40mm for full frame, which makes it just about right for the street. And nice and fast, too, for night shooting. I find that my A50mm 1.7 is too long for much of what I want to shoot at night. Having the 28mm ~and~ the 50 would be a nice combo... The 20mm is enticing, but maybe I'd get the 21mm pancake instead; I know it's a completely different lens so hard to compare, but like the compactness of the pancake. Anyway, they're all pipe dreams for now... ;-) cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
