Bob; I have one (I've owned it for about three years now) and am delighted with it. Other than the fact that it is more "bulky" than a normal 28 I have no complaints. I can't give you a "BAS" type report on it, but it certainly is good. Very sharp and very even illumination out to the corners. Excellent contrast. Dave Stedman
