I didn't know about this lens. I can certainly appreciate the value of a high
quality zoom lens. Frequently, I feel very vulnerable and very much in need of
an octopus adaptation when changing lenses. here we are...juggling chunks of
the finest glass the world has ever known and always risking dropping one.
Personally, I'd need three hands to change lenses securely; one for each lens
and one for the camera body. Phew !!!

Miguel:
If you can find a nice used one, look at the R Vario Elmarit 28-90 ASPH.
Faster at wide settings (2.8) and slower at tele (4.0), it is my "on-camera
lens" unless I need the 70-180 APO.
In the 70-90 range, it makes very nice portraits with available or studio
lighting. At wide settings it's a great street lens.
I probably shoot 90% of my work with the 28-90.
Regards,
Bob
