It is a pity Samsung don't do a AF 24mm prime, that would suit me fine.

Thanks again Ian

There's a rumor for that!

Thanks for the info. It does worry me that it is an f1.4 as this often means they concentrate on center quality wide open and not corner/edge quality at f5.6. I have found this with many lenses and to me it makes no sense. A 24mm lens is mostly going to be used for scenic photography

street photo. corners are rarely important in it. I'd like to have good corners anyway.

and not bokeh portraits. The problem is that everyone is bokeh mad now days and lens manufactures are just going with the flow.
