I must admit, Jostein had his FA 28-70 2.8 on his *ist D and I don't like it. Sure, it's a good performer, but part of the pleasure of photography for me is the look and feel of a lens - how it works on the shop floor if you like. I think it's as ugly as hell, but if you like it and it does the job... Personally I love the Tokina 28-70 or 28-80 2.8 lenses - they look and feel more like traditional MF lenses, but they are pretty good and I would choose one over a Sigma. I used to have the 28-70 2.8 in Pentax. Having sold that, I bought another in EOS to replace it - it's that good. Of course, I would love an L 24-70 but I don't have a grand knocking about. The Tokina is worth looking at. .02, Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________ Free UK Mac Ads www.macads.co.uk
