Hey Rob, Well, I'm going for new, and was leaning towards the wide, and so far everyone is for it but Dave. I thought of the FA* 24mm f/2 but thought it would be out of my price range. I want a little flexibility. As for the DSLR, I won't change to that until 35mm is too hard or expensive to get or to develop. By then even Pentax will no doubt offer a good full frame DSLR for a decent price.
