Does anyone have experience, opinions and/or samples for the FA 28-70/ f4 
AL? I just picked up a used copy for $75 and will not have a  chance to 
test it out until I get back home from travel for work.
The lens appears to be in great shape, but the focus ring seems  pretty 
loose at least off the camera. Is this normal? I'll be using  this on my 
*istDS since I can't yet afford the F2.8 model.

I used one a lot on my *ist D.  Images were kinda soft until well 
stopped-down.

The manual focus feel was utter crap very loose as you described.  I sold it 
for $75.00 a few months back...
