Hi Rob, I bought one two months ago. I have all this primes (24 f/2, 50A f/1.4, 85 FA* f/1.4 and a 200 FA* f/2.8) but I was feeling the need of a all round zoom. Believe me, the F 35-135 is the one. Here you can see a couple of shots taken with it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/manumag_photos/

It wasn't particularly cheap but I thought that it would work nicely in combination with my 16-45 DA and my ist D for trips. I haven't really had chance to do much with it yet but it seems fairly sharp in comparison with other zooms. The only gripes are; 1) It is horrible to focus manually (tiny focus ring) 2) It does not focus very closely except in "macro" mode at 135mm. Does anybody else have one of these? - any opinions/experiences? Thanks, Rob W
