If it were a constant f4 I would buy it. If it is a variable 4-5.6 I would pass. I don't need another zoom like all the rest.
Right now, my lightweight kit is the *istD (sans grip), DA 16-45 and Sigma 55-200/3.5-5.6 DC. I would love to have a constant f4 zoom with about the same optical quality as the DA 16-45.
