1.& 2. I really like DA* 50-135/2.8. I enjoy the recently acquired 77/1.8 Both produce very nice sharp image with great color rendition. 77/1.8 has a bit unusual color combination in low light, but it is very pleasant. I like these two lenses for the image quality.
I tend to take those with me even when they are a bit long for the task. 3. I like Da 17-70/4 for its versatility (for the dance photography, for taking pictures of my little kid, and some other occasions). The image is not exceptional but very reasonable. (And somewhat better than from the one DA* 16-50/2.8 that I tried, - maybe that one was a bad samples.) I wish it were sharper on the longer end. 4. I used to love Tokina ATX Pro 28-70/2.6-2.8 (the oldest of the 3 versions) on the film camera, but I am rather dissapointed with its performance on all of my DSLRs. It's just not as sharp for some reason. I even had it checked by Eric Hendrickson, and he didn't find anything wrong with it.
