Thanks, Larry.  I'm still looking for your original note on this subject
which I'm sure I filed away in some perfectly obvious place so I
couldn't possibly forget it.  Somebody recently commented on owning the
Vivitar 19mm 3.8 I asked about but I haven't seen any mention of its
performance or who makes it.

I'd reccommend the Samyang 18-28. Less variance in aperture makes
exposure
(especially flash exposure more predictable. Sharp, well-made metal
bodied
lens. I think Cameta Camera still has a few available for about 139, but
can be found pretty regularly on eeebay for about 100. The Cosina
(Pheonix
& Vivitar 19-35) is, well, a cosina. Next to eachother, the samyang is
obviously constructed better.
