Hi Ken,

I find it excellent for a zoom. All my pictures in week 22 from no. 5 
onwards were shot with it:

And all the ones from the medieval market last week (from no. 13 onwards):
http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws/?page_id=1002

The only trade-off is that it is relatively slow at f2.8 at the wide and and 
f4 on the long end.

Cheers,
Nathan
