PESO -- The other side of the tracks.

[P. J. Alling]

Yea, compare it to the best...  Poor thing must have gotten an 
inferiority complex.  I didn't like this lens on film as much as I liked 
the FA 28~70 F4.0 many it rest in peace.  Seems that most aren't happy 
with that lens on digital...

I think that the F 35-70mm probably out resolves the 6mp sensor.  Maybe 
I'll be disappointed with it when I finally get a K10D.
