FA 28-105 f4-5.6 pz model was a favorite of mine for a film camera. I still have it. Very good lense, not much heavier than the 35-135 and nearly half the close focus. Still around, cheap $100-120 at KEH. Mark Stringer

CW bummed. Needs a new walk-around zoom. When I first read your subject line, I thought maybe you had dropped the lens in the tank. Or something. Based on the rave reports here, I bought the FA 28-105 f3.2-45 for my walkaround zoom, and like it a lot. Very sharp, and a glance at Bojid
