I don't expect to buy a lot of DA lenses, but I'm quite pleased with the one I have, and I could be talked into the 14/2.8.
I don't think the *istD will ever be the equivalent of the 110SLR. Because the *istD will always be capable of producing good images no matter what advances follow it. And the 110SLR never was and never will be capable of producing good images. > I'm coming to the conclusion that I can't find a really good reason to buy > an 'APS' sized lens, especially if one already has some regular 35mm lenses > that work perfectly fine on the *ist D.
