Thanks, Jonathan! I appreciate this and the other reviews that you
posted - I had not seen either of these, just the photozone.de review
and the one on slrgear.com. The DA 17-70 does seem to get good marks in
formal tests. I've been wavering a bit but these tend to push me back to
considering it. Thanks again!

Thanks Jonathan. Is there a review of the 17-70 f4 on dxomark? I can't find
it but I am probably missing it. They seem to have a high regard for the
16-45 though! I appreciate your feedback on the 17-70 as well.

I personally like the 17-70 f4 lens.

I did the same for the same reason. Quality-wise, it's a bit worse
than the 16-45, but the difference is not so obvious.
The zoom range and the silent focus are true bonuses for my
photography, hence I'm not tempted to get back to the 16-45 (which I still
own).

I'm thinking about getting a DA 17-70 f4 as an upgrade to my DA 16-45 f4.
Mostly looking for a little more reach and less gap between the long
end and the short end of the telephoto zoom that I usually carry with
it. I don't really need an f2.8 lens and, besides, they are not much
longer than the one I have.
Does anyone have any experience wit this lens? The user reviews I have
stumbled into seem to be inconsistent. Photozone.de gives it fairly
high marks...
