Maybe I should opt for an SA lens. I would have no problem dedicating a body to this lens. I have lots of experience with Nikkor 20mm and very happy with it.... sharp, no light fall off... Would anyone like to make a comparison. From some of the tech notes I've seen on the net, I get the impression that the 21's are not that good. Surely, this is not the case. thanks, Greg Locke <locke@straylight.ca> St. John's, Newfoundland. http://www.straylight.ca/locke - ---------------------------------- TOUCHED BY FIRE: doctors without borders in a third world crisis.
