I like long lenses for candid unaware people street shots. The further away you are the easier it is to go unnoticed. 40mm would be way too short for me, even on APS format... jco

Well, I ordered the DA 50-200 from Adorama. It was in stock when I ordered, but they tell me that now it's out, and I'll have to wait. Probably that rebate thing. I'd also like a fast prime. Something for stealth photography, as when I want to do "street photography," i.e. unaware people shots. Something shorter than a long zoom -- less conspicuous. Guess one couldn't get much shorter than the DA 40. Opinions? Focus good? Any focus fall off? CA? Whatever? What would the crop factor on this one be on digital? Come out to about 55mm? TIA, Marnie aka Doe ;-) Course if I do order it, it is bound to go out of stock just when I do. ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
