Actually, it makes perfect sense to me. How many normal zooms were in the FA line? People want options there, so they can get the lens they want. You had the FA-J 28-80 (18-55), FA 28-70/4 (16-45), FA* 28-70/2.8 (16-50), FA 28-105 (17-70), FA 24-90 and the FA 28-200. The latter two haven't been replaced yet (Although I don't expect the 24-90 to be, but I do expect a 18-200 at some point).
