This might make a difference if you're planning on using a ringflash

The biggest difference in coatings is that the rear surface of the
rear lens element is coated to minimize internal reflections between
the rear element and the sensor.
Film lenses didn't have (or need) this coating, since the film

Right now, I'm looking for a decent budget wide-angle
zoom to cover. I would spring for the 16-45, but at
430 Euros, it's simply too much. I could obtain the
original *istD kit lens (FAJ 18-35) new for around 100

However, for the same money, the 18-55 is a better lens. Unless you also
want a ultra-wide zoom with no aperture ring for a film body (the 18-55
on covers 24-55 on a film body).

Later versions work exactly that way, I have an earlier version that

The only problem with the AF280T is that it can't shoot in
opposite
direction of the lens (which I use when shooting downwards,
pointing the
camera at the cieling above and behind the camera). I have

Hi,
To be fair, it wasn't my idea. It's been going on over at

Mark, look in your owner's manual at the lenses listed toward the back.
See whether it includes some of the more recent lenses, such as the
limiteds (and which limiteds). the FA 24-90, the new FA 28-105, etc.
When I recently bought a new FA* 24 f2.0, the list of lenses in the
manual told me
definition only uses a few focal lengths--no zooms, nothing over
135mm if that, no macro (no, the DR doesn't count s).
I've found myself more and more using only a 35mm and 85/90mm lens.
Well, this post ~is~ about a zoom, but it responds to your point,

On my most recent trip, I shot 99+ % with the 20-35 or the 50 1.4. I
used the 50 mainly for speed reasons. I had never been a fan of wide
angles, and I thought I would force myself to think in that mode. It
