Best lens value for the *ist-D
I have a Phoenix 19-35mm zoom, which has nice centre sharpness and excellent contrast and flare resistance. However, at 19mm, the corners aren't really good until it's stopped down to f/11. With the *ist D this will be equivalent to a 28 to 50 mm lens, and since the smaller CCD won't use the corners of the old image circle, the lack of sharpness there will be irrelevant.

Re: Best lens value for the *ist-D
I was wondering about this. What lenses that had bad corner performance are now viable options? Steven Desjardins The 28-70/4 at 28mm had a covering circle too small for 24x36. The blackening of the corners was due to that and not to light fall-off according to Popular photography. This will be a small and excellent 42-105mm (reminds me the 45-125mm)... Andre --

the Sigma 15-30 that i use is so-so in the corners and will be fine with an APS sized sensor.

Re: Best lens value for the *ist-D
Well, sometimes the best made plans... I was in my local pentax store today and the Pentax representative told them that the sensor size will probably change to a larger size before the *ist is released. So, something more to discuss... --- Herb Chong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > the Sigma 15-30 that i use is so-so in the corners > and will be fine with an APS sized sensor. > > Herb > - Original Message - > From: "Steve Desjardins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 10:00 > Subject: Re: Best lens value for the *ist-D > > > > I was wondering about this.
