Hi! First of, congratulations! You accomplished a whole lot during last several months ;-). Now to your lens question. It is 28-70 btw, *not* 28-80. I used it somewhat when visiting Jostein. And I also have Tamron 28-75/2.8. I think (based on my taste and experience) that Tamron is more hmmm

Hi Yes - since Christmas. I found a lovely yong wife - and I'm spending a lot of time with her and our new baby :-). Perhaps you´re right. But then again, photograping can be a lot of un with very few lense too. I guess I have 5O Pentax lenses or so, but I use very few of them. My favorite is the

Jens, I agree with Mark here. It is a US$1,000+ lens in terms of quality and full frame coverage. Mark can do a better job of comparing it to the DA16-45/2.8 which he uses. I've resisted buying the new lens as I have the older one and am quite happy. Price would be an issue as the new DA16-45/2.8

The DA* 16-50/2.8 is $699 at BH. It's an extraordinary lens when assembled correctly. Probably better than the old FA* lens on an APS-C camera. But I'm guessing. Paul -- Original message -- From: Bob Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jens, I agree with Mark here. It

Thanks Bob. I think you're right. I use a Sigma 10-20mm. Only 4-5.6, but quite useable and nice - rectiliniar. I own lots of lenses including the old Limited ones - but I rarely use other lenses than this one, my Tamron 28-75mm and my FA* 2.8 80-200mm and occationally for maacro my Tamron 2.5 90mm
