I wanted to be sure. A lot of times I found that a simple search would yield some answers but posting a question will yield some more - Ones I never considered or known before. [url="http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/951683/1#9004226"]Here is a very recent example[/url].

So you were expecting someone here to explain to you how to make your own small, fast, wide AF'ing lens? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Indeed, the Tamron 17-50/2.8 was a very strong candidate after I understood that my initial requirements can not be met in full but after experiencing a lot of hunting with my Tamron 60/2 macro [url="http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/949491/"]I thought about HSM lenses[/url]. If it wasn't for the problematic ergonomics I'd probably buy a 17-50/2.8 HSM or a 10-20/3.5 HSM. Not exactly fast but they do have other traits I'm after like AF and FL.

Ok then get the Panasonic 7-14 for mFT. Small, sharp, wide lens with AF that you can match with a small mFT body from either Panasonic or Olympus. Lots of body choices there and money is not an issue, right? Or is that also ergonomically or in some other way unsound? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
