The FAJ 18-35mm can be found on ebay for app. 100 USD. But perhaps a zoom lens isn't "normal". For a prime, I guess I would prefere sonmething like a 24mm or a 28mm.

Any other good ones out there? > How about the Sigma 28/1.8 EX DG ? What are you accustomed to? The 28/2.8 is a little wide and slow if you're accustomed to a 50/1.4 on a film camera. I already have one so of course I tried it and I think I'm still going to get a 35/2. I recently asked here about using the 35/2 as a normal prime and found that lens was highly regarded and not an unpopular choice as a normal for the *istD. The M or A 28/2 was mentioned as a fine choice for a faster, wider prime. I was hoping someone would comment on the Sigma lens you mentioned. Amy
