Isn't that a bit like comparing apples with oranges? One's an APS-C lens, the other is full frame. Either would be best for its intended purpose. On APS-C you couldn't achieve 17mm with a 28mm lens. On FF the 17mm will vignette.

According the the video Nikon users are waiting for that too.

I'm waiting for the digital ME/MX without AF but with a split prism viewfinder. Also to take an exposure reading with manual lenses without having to press a green button. Guess you can't please everyone.

I prefer to keep control of what I put online so rather than pay a regular fee or chance a free service I purchased a QNAP server and run a gallery on that using the open source Piwigo gallery software. I can do what I want, when I want with it.
I originally had the free BT web space but that didn't have a php facility and got closed down anyhow. Hence my purchase several years ago. Cost was not much more than £100 and I can upload directly over my local lan so quite convenient. A great learning tool too as without it I wouldn't have a clue about unix, php databases, forums and so on. I wouldn't recommend this route though for those not prepared to dabble into such matters as getting it set up right is far from straightforward and some of the provided default 'apps' were prone to being hacked (nothing serious.) However I don't risk those now.

As to the other point, the 17-70 on APS-C is a wide to moderate telephoto, whereas the 28-105 is a standard to medium telephoto so they are not directly comparable IMO. Probably worth having both!
Alternatively look at the 18-135mm.
