I checked it before. That's why I posted my email:))

I know. The point is, that I've seen "SMC F" written on this lens.

to .8 minimum focusing distance.
I noticed it too and it confused me. I'm not sure if I didn't notice the distance
indicator on the lens correctly or it is some strange lens Boz don't know (which I
doubt:))

As I wrote, this lens is especially well graded on Photodo. My 35-80 mm lens (which is
BTW F, not FA) has the grade of 2,2 and that 28-80 mm - 3,3. A significant difference,
isn't it? And since I find my zoom to be VERY well built (despite it's bad opinion) -
it's very sharp, no vignetting, little distortion - then that 28-80 mm should be
incredible. The incredible quality for a low price is quite a bargain, isn't it? So,
suppose I'll buy it, I'll have two options:
- keep both lenses as standard zooms for main and backup bodies
- sell that potentially worse lens (35-80 mm) and keep the incredible quality lens:)
So I'd like to know how good is that 28-80 mm lens in reality.
And I'm going to buy that 28 mm f2,8 anyway:)
