It only affects the effective length. Your 28-105/4-5.6 becomes roughly a 42-155/4-5.6 > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tanya Mayer Photography" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >> Hi all, I have just found an Aussie site where I can purchase the *istD >> WITHOUT a lens!

First, I have the FA 20-35/4, and second I am expecting to get the FA-D 16-45 when it is available. Your choice may be different - you don't have anything wider than 28mm (42mm effective length on ist-D) and you wouldn't want the FA-D as it will only work on the ist-D. Stan
