> What would make a good "normal" lens for an *istD or *istDS?
A lot depends, of course, on what each individual considers to be a "normal" focal length. For the 35mm format, while the "common" normal FL is considered to be 50mm, some like 55mm better, and there are some who like 77mm or 85mm, while some like 40mm, 35mm, or 31mm. Add in (or multiply by, I guess) the APS cropping factor, and you'd also get quite a range of APS "normal" focal lengths. Fred
