Shel, In addition to seeing Godfrey's 20-35, would you be interested in seeing a Tokina 20-35/3.5-4.5 autofocus lens at the Pixel Party? It's not the 2.8, but it's mostly metal constructed, as far as I can tell and quite a bit heavier than my other Pentax lenses. As far as image quality, you will have to decide for yourself.
Like Godfrey, I find myself using this focal length a lot in addition to the 28-105/3.2-4.5 now that I am using the digital body.
