Hopefully Fred will not mind my weight as I piggy-back on his question... I have considered the same two lenses, as well as a third one: the FA 24-90 F/3.5-4.5 AL[IF] . The prices are quite different; however I cant decide for the life of me if the lens quality and/or "extra width" in the latter lens is worth it. I know the 24mm vs. 28mm is a personal decision, but perhaps you can help decide the (more objective) quality concern. I'll likely check out the review in Shutterbug, as Rob suggested earlier. However, I'd of course like to hear from you guys (and gals) also. Thanks! .jerome. ps... Like Fred, I'm also looking (pretty much) exclusively for a zoom to fill this particular need. Hence, hopefully we wont get too many "well what you REALLy need is a PRIME!" responses... But of course theres always at least one... So let me get it out the way now: THERES NOTHING LIKE A PRIME LENS! I'LL TAKE A PRIME OVER A ZOOM ANY DAY! PRIMES SURE ARE WONDERFUL! :O) thanks in advance. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
