Absolutely worth it James, as Pete says.

Edit: Apart from the other enhancements, I particularly appreciate and make use of the following option to AF point selection.

Operate at AF point “SEL”] on [Custom] menu and it can be selected either [1 Calling Function Preference] or [2 Select AF point Preference].
When selected [2 Select AF point Preference] and AF point switching dial is set at [SEL], selection of AF point can be operated priority by the four-way controller.

When alcohol reaches that sort of percentage (or even a bit less) in a real Ale I think it really becomes classified as a Barley wine.
At that level alcohol starts to become a dominating taste and for me it's not as much of a pleasure to consume.

Pretty much what I was thinking, although the QC issues I have been reading about on other forums kind of scare me with the 16-50. But the 17-70 sounds perfect. Now, just need to save my pennies.
Thanks, man!
I actually wouldn't worry too much about QA with the DA* 16-50 now, I'm sure they would have sorted the problems by now.

My copy is a fine lens, capable of very sharp images with great contrast and colour in the sweet spot (more of an area really) of the aperture range.

Thanks James there aren't too many of us around

Regarding your lens, if zooms are your thing, you could split your current focal range and go for the excellent DA 17-70 f/4 ( or the DA* 16-50 f/2.8 ) and the equally nice DA* 60-250 f/4

totally agree, George. Working on that. Any good suggestions? Thanks!
Depends on what you shoot James. Might be worth going back through images you have taken with your current lens to see what sort of focal length you prefer
