Hi P�l,
are you sure that this lens (28-70/2.8) is still being
made like this? I think it is about 10 years ago when
it was introduced. From your description it seems that
this lens has such a big design flaw that it is
virtually unusable. Such kind of things could have
been been fixed in later models?
