[zinger]

Camera salesman who proposes to know said he's pre-sold some of these, insists this is the end all, be all new lens coming out this fall.

Any other word on this, and if it turns out true, how does it sound???

kind of a weird range...56-224mm equiv. I guess I wouldn't mind my 70-200 being a little wider so maybe the range is a good thing
