I must say that compared to the FA*80-200 that I used to achieve
same f.o.v. on film I find it rather small and light :-)
sorry, couldn't resist.
the 'bad' thing is that the f.o.v. of the FA*80-200 monster on digital
opened a world I never really knew on film (other than via 2x converter)
and I like it, but the FA*80-200 is relatively heavy.
(for that lens weight is more an issue to me than size)
Axel - maybe the use of FA*28-70 as standard zoom on the P-1 for some
years gave me a twisted perspective on lens size? ;-)
