Winston,
You are going to love the FA24/2.0.
I like it more than the 43/1.9 or 77/1.8.
I purchased mine a long time ago, and
fell in love with it when I got the results back.
Some of the shots had an almost magical 3 dimensional quality.
I quit using my 28mm f2.8 after I saw these results.
I sell a lot of photographs to magazines. I have never had a problem
with previously published unless the photo appeared on a printed page
in another mag. No one that I know worries about photos that have
appeared in obscure places on the net. Thus, PUG photos are not
published, at least not
