Did you get it yet? Mine is beautiful, though rather naked without the hood. If they'd told me it was new, I'd have had no reason to argue.
Haven't done any shooting of consequence with it, but MAN is it heavy - heavier, I think, even than the Tokina ATX Pro it's replacing. And that's without that stout hood. No I just have to consider whether to keep the 24-90. It's a rather pleasant alternative to the 28-70 when walking around, with a more suitable range for the *istD. Too slow at the long end though. Perhaps I'll ditch it when Pentax bring out a good zoom that can attain a usefully wide angle with the digital.
