Additional Comments:
If you only had $250 dollars to spend on a camera lens, this would be your best bet. It's around $230 and you can spend the last $20 on a filter and shipping. The range is a bit of a let down since a wider 24mm (as opposed to this lens's 28mm) on a digital body is more preferable minimum focal length but you definitely get a lot for your money.
