Still, it's not a bad lens. > That's funny - but the last one (28-70/2.8 SV) - won much better opinions in German's Foto Magazine tests than older 28-70/2.6-2.8 (in fact, it was even sligthly better than Pentax FA* 28-70 and Canon L 28-70). But I tend not to believe in tests. I think all three options are very good, althought the newest is said to be of slightly worse build quality (more plastic) - but thanks to this, it is about 100 g lesser in weight too.
