Best lens value for the *ist-D

[Peter Spiro]

I have a Phoenix 19-35mm zoom, which has nice centre sharpness and excellent 
contrast and flare resistance.  However, at 19mm, the corners aren't really 
good until it's stopped down to f/11.

With the *ist D this will be equivalent to a 28 to 50 mm lens, and since the 
smaller CCD won't use the corners of the old image circle, the lack of 
sharpness there will be irrelevant.

For an example of a picture taken with this lens, you can see
