I once had an A 28/2.8, and I found it to be somewhat soft (although the build quality was reasonable). I believe that the F 28/2.8 is optically the same (but I can't speak for the build quality). I much prefer the K 28/2, the A 28/2, or the K 28/3.5. > My FA 24mm has gone and I need a replacement. Sorry to hear of your loss. However, a 28mm lens is really not a proper replacement for a 24mm lens. Let's face it - once you've used a 24mm lens, you're not going to be happy with a 28mm "telephoto" (<g>) lens - you've got to have another 24mm lens or even something w-i-d-e-r - <g>. Fred
