28mm with the *ist DS is a wonderful wide-normal focal length, the equivalent of what I used to love in a 40mm lens on film. I use the focal length a LOT with the FA20-35 lens, and keep debating over buying an FA28/2.8 as well. I really should... ! I just was never really happy with the field of view of a 28mm on film. I preferred either 35mm or wider. I know a lot of folks find 28mm perfect! Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
