Like just about everything, it's finding a balance / swings and roundabouts, lose the f2.8 but gain 35mm on the long end.
Tbh, the IQ from the 16-85mm more than made up for the odd time I'd want f2.8 with that lens.
For me most of those earlier (cheap) (relatively) fast zooms just didn't cut it wide open, I tried most at one stage or another. From lack of sharpness to awful fringing most of them fell short.
I think now, this new family of d fa lenses are showing us just how good good glass can be.

My Mrs has had one for a few months and I have to say that the photos it can produce are impressive for a mobile, though it shares the main fault of all mobiles: a lens that's too wide to be a general use focal length (oh for a mobile with a 35 or 40mm equivalent focal length).

I've yet to give the astro tracer a go, been promising myself I'd try it, just never got around to it.
These are phenomenal,
You could probably do a blog / vlog on doing these, I'm sure it would be a huge success. And very much appreciated

I've only ever seen 1 up for sale, I bought and sold it.
Not many of them about.
