Having just received the DA 14mm a few days ago, I compared
it to the other two wide-angles I have been using on the *istD.
Not really tested the sharpness and distortition issues yet.

I did look at the FOV however, and was surprised

It is my understanding it stands for focal length.
In a 100mm f/2.8 lens you would divide 100mm by a factor of 2.8
(focal_length/2.8) to get 35.71428mm as the maximum aperture opening
diameter.
As has been argued here before f/stop and aperture are two very
different things.

One other thing to consider is that f-stop simply represents a physical

Hi Everyone,
I recently had a Sandisk 512 extreme card lose all the
photos that I had on it. It was full of RAW images.
Does anyone know if this means the card is bad, or is
there something wrong with the camera? I just bought
a new, regular Sandisk 512 CF card, but it has not
done this yet.
I was shooting various street photos in Birmingham, Michigan a couple
of months ago. I shot a few people sitting on benches, some potted
flowers and other typical things. At one point I pointed my camera at
some Asian children who were playing near a statue of a dog as their
parents looked on.
I can only imagine the fun when the animal rights activists will pass a
law requiring written autorisation from the subjects for publishing
their photos ;-)

Please contact me off-list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if

Thanks.
I replaced my 28-70 for the 28-105. Same size and
weight, longer range and sharper images (proved in
comparison shots).
I didn't consider the 24-90 due to its price and to
the fact that I already own (and like) an A24/2.8.
Feel free to ask for more details (including samples
of the comparison),
I've never met a macro lens I didn't like.
I'd say that's basically true for me, too - 50's, 90's, 100's, a
105, a 200, and a 90-180. (Except maybe for the F 50/2.8 Macro,
which is optically ~superb~, but which manually focuses like a piece
of junk.)
