Quote: might be worth a look if you want full frame compatibility.
No the full frame thing was just for RICO, this roll of film I bought was the first in 8 years, and very likely the last.
Quote: SMC Pentax-FA 20-35mm F4 AL
The wide apertures are very useful for auto-focus in sunsets and sunrise shots. Having worked a year with the DA*60-250.. I'm not likely to pick up another F4 or slower lens unless it's the new DA 560 5.6.
Quote: Aden has the 31 AFAIK norm and they would match prodigital2000 (Carmen's in St Catherines web store) so 1098 is the price
there's an FA 28 2.8 on Toronto CL for 180 if you are going to be in town
and a 16-50 for $950 ( a so so price IMO)
Thanks for that Eddie, now where's my photo of the Ryerson Quad?
Quote: I think it depends what you want to do with it. I have the DA35 ltd, Sigma 30 and Tamron 17-50 and would recommend all 3(!)
I work mostly in landscape... so while good corner to corner sharpness is good, colour and contrast are also important.
Thanks to all who have responded so far.... good stuff.
