Bill, you say “nice enough…” More info please? I don’t really want another lens. If I were to buy this f/4.0 lens it would replace, not supplement my f/2.8 lens. The bulk and weight of the /2.8 sometimes make me reluctant to even carry it with me. And if I do take it, it means I leave something else behind. I wouldn’t mind sacrificing the one-stop difference in max aperture, but what else would I be giving up?
So, do you also have the /2.8 and would you consider the /4.0 a reasonable substitute? Thanks!
