Thanks. I would guess a D-FA 50-200/4 could be around the 300GBP mark, then. That's 30% above the FA28-105/3.2-4.5 price and 25% below the 50/2.8 Macro. Reasonable? 300GBP, yes please put me down for one of those :) John -- Original Message --- From: Kostas Kavoussanakis

Some of us look for intimacy and some of us look for voyeurism. vbg I don't see how you do street shooting with a 200mm lens on 16x24mm format anyway ... even a 50mm lens on the DS is a portrait telephoto, a 200mm lens is the equivalent of a 300mm field of view in 35mm film camera terms

I've heard all the narrow, pretentious definitions of street shooting before. I think anything that defines a genre too narrowly is merely limiting. Yes, HCB shot with normal lenses, and I frequently shoot with normal to wide lenses as well. But that's not all I do. I care not a hoot for
