He certainly gives it high praise and his review makes it sound nice. :)

Thanks for the Link André - especially given it's from my most trusted reviewer. It seems the 28-70/2.8 may have had it's day from reading this.

Maybe Nikon made a better "28-70" but the old 28-70 isn't exactly throw away material :D

I didn't like how it felt in comparison to the 28-70 to be honest. :P

Sample images from 24-70 as well as 14-24.

14mm on FX is W-i-i-i-i-d-e!

I will second that, after purchasing the 18-200 VR (a versatile and great walk around / travelling lens) when you want that bit extra, on goes the 28-70 F2.8! :D The plan was to sell this and the 70-200VR, but having been spoilt with the focus speed and quality I am gamely hanging on to them :lol:
