If you are trying to achieve the same angular coverage then I guess it depends how good a job you want to do. Ever compared the size of the exemplary CZ 21/2.8 for Contax to the A20/2.8, it beast the Pentax equivalent in sharpness and distortion, just ask Bob W how it performs. I've got no idea how capable the Olympus Zuiko 21/2.0 but I'll be it wouldn't be deemed a particularly good performer against most of the newer designs. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
