The Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm zoom is about a third the price again and is pretty good
if you are on a real budget (doesnt sound like you are though). It really is very
good and very underpriced. Also has flare problems as do all non SMC lenses to a
degree.

I purchased this lens about a month ago. It is very sharp. I learned from my first
roll on that you MUST use the supplied shade in a sunny environment or you will get
flare. If anything, it makes me take an extra moment to compose - which isn't a bad
thing! ;-) I'd buy it again in a minute. Both B&H and Tristate sell the AF version
for $159.
