Hello Sanford, Welcome to the list. I am a newcomer myself but I have been lurking for a while. There is plenty of both wit and wisdom on the list. It is up to you to figure out which is which.
As for a zoom in the 20-35mm range. While I do not have the FA 20-35 it is suppose to be a very good lens. The DA 16-45 is also an excellent lens but it is designed for APS-C digital only. I understand that it covers the full 35mm frame only down to about 24mm. Do you want the zoom for digital only of for both film and digital? I have the DA 16-45 and like most who have to really like it. Perry. On 1/7/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello To all the "P-heads" out there in the pdml family!.
