I was actually recently looking at that lens.
Just need to wait due to Christmas expenses/debt. Not easy to come up with $700 for a lens now.
I use the Nikkor 28-105 which is an awesome lens and no longer easy to find in any packages.
Works well pretty much for all my needs but would like some additional zoom options if possible and you can't beat it for the price to have a 2.8 on such a zoom distance.

Now if I dared to unload all my Hasselblad Carl Zeiss lenses (6 of them), I could buy tons of these.
