I replaced my 28-70 for the 28-105. Same size and
weight, longer range and sharper images (proved in
comparison shots).
I didn't consider the 24-90 due to its price and to
the fact that I already own (and like) an A24/2.8.
Feel free to ask for more details (including samples

It is my understanding it stands for "focal length".
In a 100mm f/2.8 lens you would divide 100mm by a factor of 2.8
(focal_length/2.8) to get 35.71428mm as the maximum aperture opening
diameter.
As has been argued here before "f/stop" and "aperture" are two very
different things.
