If you mean the 43/1.9, it's currently US$370 after rebate at B&H online, while
the FA 35/2 is US$300 (but out of stock). Does your Canadian store have a
website? I'd like to take a look.

OK I stand corrected. This IS a fast ultrawide lens. However, size and price
rule it out for me.

So I can just buy a standard (non-dedicated) module for the flash to use it
with a K100D? I believe the flash has a thyristor, as it recharges more quickly
when manually set to fire at less than full power. Voltage-wise, Kevin Bjorke's
strobe voltage page indicates the Sunpak 30DX puts out 4.6-10.4V, so no
problem.

Thanks for the comprehensive replies, by the way. Much appreciated!
