Christine, You should try a manual focus 28mm lens. Shoot with it for a while to see how you like it. The wider angle on digital gets close to a normal lens on film. I've been using the 31mm Limited more than the DA16-45/4. (Problem with the zoom is it goes to one extreem or the other.) Regards, Bob S.
