That's the one. I've used it for a good number of the shots on
my picture-a-week gallery:

You wouldn't exect to be able to see problems with a web image,
but I've made 8x10 prints from at least one of those shots.
The most recent image <http://www.jfwaf.com/PAW/PAW.php?name=PAW0829>
is very similar to the image pair where the 28-105 didn't look too
good in comparison with the 16-50. But the differences were mostly
in contrast and in the appearance of the out-of-focus background.
You'd expect the starred lens to have better contrast, and of course
the 28-105 was just about wide open at f/5.6, while the 16-50 is a
couple of stops down from maximum aperture.
