Well, I don't have it yet of course, but a trade might be something we could
work out. I'm not sure about the optical quality of either one. Larry says
the 18-28 is best. I think it was Walt who spoke highly of the optics on the
19-35, at least when it was stopped down. The reason I wanted the 19-35 was
that I thought it would have that extra reach that would make it a better
walk around lens, when you didn't want to carry a second lens. 28mm seems as
if it might be a little wide for that. The reason I bought this one was the
price. I thought I could always try it, and unload it again if I didn't like
it, without losing too much.
