How can you get on your high horse and make a statment like that without
making formal, scientific, error free tests.
Don't you realize that visual impressions gotten by long experience in
the field don't mean shit around here?

I did some quick tests - and now it seems to have improved to the same
performance as the Tokina 2.8-4.3 28-70mm at 28mm and still much better at

Every 24-to-something or 28-to-something I've had or used showed more
I have this lens, and I also had the F 35-80 4-5.6, until I sold the
latter last January, and the Tokina is sharper. In fact, it is very
sharp for a zoom lens, its only disadvantages being noticeable
barrel distortion at 28 mm. and that it is a flare prone lens,
compared to SMC Pentax lenses.
