I've also found the 28-200 lacking, both in sharpness and speed, but it is very handy at parties, allowing you to zoom in to catch an expression, or zoom out for a group shot. For everyday use, I carry a 28-70 f4, and pop the FA20-35 f4 and the Sigma 70-200 2.8 EX in the knapsack if I'm expecting to see anything especially interesting.

The 28-70 f4 doesn't come with a hood, but doesn't seem to need one, either, which makes it effectively more compact and quicker to use.
