Comment by Andrew Cunnington posted on New *IST D user at 20/02/2004 - 08:52
In an earlier thread I asked about lens reviews and a number of people pointed me to some great sites. However these cover only older lenses and I am looking for reviews now of the FA J series of lenses.
The smc FA J 18-35mm F4.5.6 AL has it's own thread below - and general opinion seems to be that it has some minor problems - but these are minimised when used on the *Ist D beacuse of it's smaller sensor size.
What about the other two in the range, the smc FA J 28-80mm F3.5/5.6 AL and the smc FA J 75-300mm F4.5/5.8 AL? does anyone have any opinions - or can point me to a review?
Many thanks,
Andrew

Also look at the Epson Perfection 3200 Photo - This A4 flatbed scanner comes with all the parts needed to scan slides or negatives - and can cope with a wide variety of sizes - including custom (I think). The software is easy to use and produces suberb output. Quality wise it compares with some dedicated slide/negative scanners. I am also a keen genealogist - and the scanner also serves me very well copying certificates, photos and other documents.

Thank you very much for the replies - between the sites you list I can find what I need to make an informed decision.
I especially like 'stans' site.

Hi,
I'm currently considering buying an *ist D. I don't have any existing lenses so I wanted to know more about them. Is there a website that lists compatable leneses - hopefully one that includes reviews and side by side comparisons with other compatable brands? I would only be interested in the newer AF lenses, but I realise that with the recent firmware many more lenses are 'compatable' at a basic level.
Does such a site exist?
many thanks,
Andrew

Anyone in this forum know if/when the *istD RAW files will be supported by Photoshop?
Also are there any other applications that support them? (either natively or with a plug in)
