Hello Francis, I can highly recommend it. It is optically extremely good - and gives you the reach on the wide end. 16mm is visibly wider than the 20mm - you are comparing about a 24mm to 30mm in 35mm terms. Quite a difference.
Here are some shots I've made with the lens: http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkd_0805.htm http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/pinnacles_0017.htm http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/pinnacles_0100.htm http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/pinnacles_0026.htm http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/pinnacles_0065.htm http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/pinnacles_0079.htm http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/pinnacles_0028.htm http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/pinnacles_0032.htm -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, March 28, 2005, 8:07:05 AM, you wrote: FA> Thanks Bruce.
