Ok I'll bite. Why do you need f/2.8 on 15 mm lens? I don't think I
ever used it at wider than f/8. As far as hoods are concerned on 15
mm lenses, they are pretty symbolic. At best, all they do is offer
some minimal protection for the front element.

Shooting handheld in low light. I've been shooting wide-open at 1/15th with
that lens just after sunset a couple of times. In those cases I locked up the

By the way, there has been a thread in the list about aspherical lenses.
In my Z-1 brochure says that the 24 mm. uses one of the composite
acrilic-over-glass aspheric lenses. The FA 28-70 mm. 4.0 which I have
has also got one of those composite lenses,

HA! My Sigma focuses down to 0.18m, so the FA*24mm f2.0 isn't the king

Oh, who am I kidding, I still want it.

You are all evil. Here I am printing some images that I'm really happy
with from my Sigma 24mm f2.8, and ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS HOW MUCH I
WANT THAT FA* 24mm f2.0!!!
Just happened I had the Sigma 24/2.8 (manual focus PKA) not long ago. The
interesting thing is, I do not find the FA*24/2
If I remember right, Carl Zeiss' version of that lens was virtually
identical (I
think they licensed Pentax's design, or co-developed it) with a few changes
to get rid of the aspheric element, presumably to get around the
manufacturing difficulties and cost. I don't know how it performs in

Aaron,
Oh, but you *should* buy it. It's a superb lens, and, if you didn't _need_
it for your work, then why would you _want_ it so much? Quod erat
demonstrandum. It's obviously the right lens for

I'm afraid there *aren't* any reasons why you shouldn't buy it.
(OK, it's larger and heavier than most wide angle primes. You're
a real man, aren't you? I thought so.)
