Thank you Joseph. Your tests cured my zoom-phobia. I have always thought that the since 28-105 PZ has an excellent reputation as a very sharp lens but it still wasn't sharp enough when compared to any of my primes, I have to stick with prime lenses only. Turns out I was very wrong indeed. Your lens test is a great relief to me, the 28-105 isn't that invincible and there are much sharper zooms than that. I will give that Tokina 28-80/2.8 a closer look. I guess we have to look very hard for good wide-to-tele zooms, but at least they exist.
