  Published: 2005-09-01, review by: luminous-landscape.com

  • Abstract:  The new lens is noticeably smaller and lighter than the 24-70 mm., although its front element is about the same diameter. It is a more conventional zoom in that it extends with the focal length; the 24-70 mm gets longer as the focal length gets short...
