Gentlemen, thank you very much for your advice.
Of course, Joe made the point by telling how good the lens is in it's own zoom range. No scary details that make me lie awake all night, or such. So I bought it from a dealer who, the hood unfortunately being not included, sold it to me for 180 EUR, shipping included. IIRC ebay prices, a real bargain. Brendan, thank you very much for the sample picture. Rick, you were nearly about to cause me a dreadful headache with that terrific bunch of information. As I figured out that in your eyes it compares better against the FA 4/28-70, which I own and like, that unfortunately made my desire even stronger. It should arrive within a few days. Hopefully it's me who receives it, otherwise I'll have to answer silly questions from my lady :-) I'll report how results turn out.
