Paul ... The lens is really as good as it sounds. When I complain about the mediocre zooms that are generally available for 35mm use, it's lenses like this one that I use as a point of reference for quality zoom optics. Build quality is excellent, focus feel is excellent, image quality is excellent. Another superb zoom is the Vivitar Series I 90~180/4.5 flat field macro zoom.
Unfortunately, these lenses are big compared to many contemporary optics, a tradeoff that I'd gladly make for their optical quality. If I had the $$$ right now, I'd buy the lens in a New York minute.
