Yes, the power zoom FA28-105 is a great quality lens. I almost gave up shooting with the PZ-1 and FA29-80 power zoom, it was so bad. I reverted to the Super Program instead of the PZ-1. Years later, I got my hands on the 28-105 and it was as good as the other was bad. Not well recognized, but an excellent lens. Regards, Bob S.
