As most of you know I've had my fill of 28-70/4's, so I won't even talk about that one. I have a DA50-200 and have no intention of parting with it. For it's tiny size and weight it does a marvelous job. And as Paul mentions the DA focus clutch is a great idea, all lenses should have it. It DID surprise me how sharp, and amazingly contrasty, the 24-90 is. I am, as of a few months ago, a _firm_ believer in 'sample variation'. I've seen it up close and personal several times lately. It's very possible that _my_ DA and 24-90 are on the low and high end, respectively, of the allowable QC tolerance. At this point, speaking technically, all I can say is: The FA24-90 rocks!! ;-)
