I have the manual focus Sigma Super Wide II 24mm f2.8, and my only real
complaint about it with film was how easily it flared.
However, I'm finding on the DS2 that it's fairly lousy when the subject is more
than about 20 feet away, even at f8.

*istDL resolves ~53 lpmm -- quite undemanding wrt resolution.
Between lenses I used I could see differences in contrast,
color saturation, etc -- but not resolution. At least, not at the center
at reasonable apertures. If Sigma cannot pull that out,
it's gotta be made out of a coke bottle.

Got my *istDL before Christmas and have so far done nearly all my
shooting with the lens that came with the camera: a Sigma 28-125.
I've been using that lens because (a) it is autofocus and I have
trouble focussing, (b) it has a nice range of focal lengths, and
(c) it's fairly light.
In the last couple of days I've been shooting with one of my old
Pentax lenses: the SMC-A 35-105. This used to be my favourite
lens on my Pentax Super-A but it is one heavy beast (and, of
course, not AF).
This will be old news to many here but the difference in
resolution between the Pentax and the Sigma blew me away! I would
not have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

Relieved to hear that. I missed a Sigma Superwide II 24/2.8 on eBay a
very short while ago.
