Is it really that much better than the Tokina? I always wanted one, but it's almost 3000 USD here!! And since I'm using *ist D and MZ-S I can't utilize the power zoom.

Now *this* is a nice lens! I hadn't been using my Tokina 28-70/2.6-2.8 much when I sold it a couple of months ago as that range of focal lengths didn't seem to suit my style on digital. But I thought it might be handy on a wedding shoot. Indeed it is! The 28-70 range on a DSLR is equivalent to 42-105 on a film camera (big hello to big Bill Robb!), which covers from small groups to tight head shots. Absolutely the dog's bollocks for wedding reception shooting! An additional bonus - and I didn't think I'd ever say this about an FA* lens - is that's it's quite a bit smaller and lighter than the lens it replaced. Oh yeah, and the optics are fab, too! :) -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
