Pancho, Very, very nice lens. I bought the 28-70/4 and the 24-90 simultaneously a few years ago, and exposed one roll of slide film with each using my PZ-1p. +NO+ contest. The 24-90 was sharper and contrastier, with similar distortion and bokeh. The extra 4mm on the wide end and 20mm on the tele end make a big difference in my shooting.
I'm mostly using an ist D now, but the 24-90 is still frequently on the front. Somehow I find it more enjoyable than the 16-45, despite the loss of the wide angle.
