I would definitely give her the 24. The perspective is more unusual, so
it's a lot more entertaining thatn a 28. My first wide was a 20, and I

Hello Peter,
I would go with the 24mm - because it is more extreme, it will enforce
a totally different eye and style for her. You already have another
24mm anyway. I'm willing to bet that her idea of wide angle is more
extreme than a 28mm.

Hi Jerry
are you talking about the Sigma 28-200mm 3.8-5.6 UC
aspherical
with 72mm filter size.
I just got one with a P30 body and have not used it so

Very early, same as the Alpa Reflex of 1944, produced through 1946. The
lens is very soft wide open, hell it's soft stopped down. Very pleasing

even out-performed a Canon 28-135 IS lens (or
something similiar). Does anyone have this lens and
might be willing to share some sample photos?
TIA Merry Christmas to everyone!

I agree about the Pentax 6x7, which I still use. I also use my
father-in-law's old speed graphic and manual Leica rangefinder at least
once a year, and occasionally an old kodak folder and argus TLR.
