For me, I kind of started fresh. I sold off 35mm gear some time back. Based on friend's experiences with focal changes, I knew that I would probably not use the lenses in quite the same manner.
At this stage, I have aquired or will aquire the following: F 17-28/3.5-4.5 fisheye Tokina 19-35/3.5-4.5 AF193 Tokina 28-105/3.5-4.5 AF Pentax 80-320/4.5-5.6 (Don't suspect this will get used that much) and may get replaced with something more like an 80-200 later Tamron 70-300/4-5.6 (Ditto above) FA *24/2.0 FA 50/1.4 Tamron 90/2.8 Macro This set gives me some reasonable speed zooms without breaking the bank and a moderate wide angle (24mm) prime for groups, a short tele (50mm) for portraits and a longer tele/macro (90mm). This should be a good start, while I learn what might be missing. -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, December 7, 2003, 11:09:18 PM, you wrote: RS> So how are *ist D users coping with the lens mag factors and are some lenses RS> now less useful than they were on film bodies?
