Peter, I just purchsed the f70-210mm after reading great things about it here. However, it has a bit of haze on it and I don't believe it would be fair to compare ithis one to my mint A70-210.. Maybe I should have worded my question differently but basically I trying to find out if there was a consensus here as to whether one was noticeably better than the other. Otherwise, I agree with you and would just do some comparison tests of my own. Thanks for the input.
