But today on my d200 I went out shooting for several hours and walked back
in the dark with nothing but a 24 2.8 on the camera. Which becomes with the
1.5 crop a 36mm lens in effect.
A fun and useful (I bracket my focal lengths) zooms are primes still do what
they do best. The one thing they do.
This lens does 24. In a solid compact and elegant manor.
