Let us know! It's certainly seems like it could be a decent
full-frame coverage alternative to the expensive 24-90 or 20-35 and
perhaps better constructed than the FAJ 18-35.

It's optically identical to the A version, so most of the A version's
comments (from the two comments posted there) would apply. I have the
A version and while some here don't like it, I find it fine for
casual shooting. It's the same size as the 35-70 f/4 A lens, which is
quite compact. I had the F version once, and it's bulkier because of
the bulkier barrel size of most of the F zooms. The F version of the
lens flared a bit, as I remember, even with a hood, but the
circumstances of the shoot I'm remembering were quite demanding
(strong backlight/sunlight with sun just out of the edge of the frame
at 24mm).
It is a very nice range.
Thanks Joe. I found some other comments on the net. Many commented that
it's good when stopped down, which is how I would use it for the most
part. I just ordered one from KEH and I'll do some tests with the ist-D
when it arrives.
