Like Aaron, I had one and sold it. My evaluation:
+) Very useful zoom range
+) Great build quality

+) Nice image quality

I'd appreciate it
I had one, and sold it. The size was sorta big (pretty much the same as
my 200mm f2.8), performance was excellent, but the minimum focus at 28mm
stank for my purposes (I like getting close to things). Build quality
was pretty terrific.
