Mark, Just so you know: http://graywolfphoto.com/pentax/pdml-faq.html And, to be more specific: "EBAY-- It is all right to mention your own auctions. Do not mention other items until the auction is over (common courtesy). An exception is obviously funny and BS stuff like the 11 million dollar Canon 1Ds digital, or non-photographic stuff like the wedding dress that was the basis of a long thread here a while back." Not scolding you, as you likely didn't know; just letting you know for future reference. <vbg> And, of course, they're not "rules", but suggested guidelines. You can keep posting eBay auctions, but you may then ruffle a few feathers. Not mine, BTW - I don't do eBay these days (I just look, don't buy). As far as the lens goes, I don't know anything about it, except that you're right, on a *istD, the more distorted edges of the 35mm frame wouldn't be visible to the sensor, so it would not be as extreme a fisheye effect as on a 35mm film camera. cheers, frank -- "It's about time we started to take photography seriously and treat it as a hobby." -Eliott Erwitt
