But as P�l has told, there will be a complete new chassis for the new digital and analogue SLRs. So the new modells might look very different. >24-90 probably will be slightly better optically and faster (3.5-4.5), >althought its build quality is not as good as in old good 28-105 PZ. I don't own the PZ but the newer - maybe Tamron-built - version. But maybe I will get a PZ and check, if this might be sufficient. A used PZ will definitely be cheaper than a new 24-90... >> So - what's the question here? I don't know :-) I just wanted to share >> my thougts with you.
