No, I don't plan a "leveling" change. As it happens, I'm now comfortable with the current perspective. Wide angle distortion was what I was describing by referencing the FOV.

I'm sorely tempted by the 50-200 for it's size and weight, but right now I really need something in the wide end of the lens universe. Much the same as I'd love to have the A 35-105 f3.5, but I've decided it's not really in my budget. (Unfortunately something in the 10-24mm range isn't in my budg

It's been four years since I shot any film. If you're going to shoot traditional process B&W film, process it yourself to provide the best possible negatives for scanning and reduce costs. My favorite B&W films as of the last of my 35mm shooting are Agfa APX25 (EI 50 in XTOL 1:1) * Kod

Hi Shel, It focuses to 1.1 meter, quite close for that long a lens. At 200mm that can give you some near macro capability. Of course the barrel extends quite a bit at 200. I haven't noticed how much it extends when focusing, so it must not be an unusually large amount. The lens is extremely ligh
