I agree with you. I've got the 28-70L, and there's no reason to sell and replace it with this new lens. I don't shoot in the rain very much, and as far as optical quality goes, the new one simply *can't* be that much better because the current one is already so good. I can see that it might be a great lens for a small-sensor digital shooter (D60/30) where there's a multiplier. But not for film or the 1Ds. They increased the reach on the wrong end as far as I'm concerned. Pass.
