Yes Jon I have researched the values of this lens for weeks. Considered the benefit of buying second hand and decided against it as the later versions of this lens had modified motors. It’s the sister of my 28-70 f2.8 and also made in metal and not plastic.
As both cameras in use here are FX models there is no point in me buying DX lenses. Heading out later this morning to try it out but am stuck for time time.

Completely forgot about sticking up a few pics. Have been out snapping at every opportunity as the weather is reasonable. ( Its raining )
Mr Grey Sky visits most days though. Cracking good lens.
