I have a series of test shots I took last summer, comparing various lenses from 24mm to 70mm, IIRC. These included the F24-50, FA24-90, FA*24/2.0, FA28/2.8, FA50/1.4 and Tokina 28-70/2.6-2.8 I've been meaning to do a proper conversion of all the RAW files and put 'em on the web for viewing. Perhaps I'll get it together enough to do so this week. >From memory, I think the F24-50 was every bit as good as the FA24-90 throughout its (admittedly smaller) zoom range. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
