 The reason for my question is that in functioning, both the current 35-70
 and 80-200 have a similar feel, and the 28-70 a different, to my hand, less
 smooth "feel". >>

The current 28-70 (#11364) is manufactured by Kyocera and is in the identical 
mount as the 35-70 f4.  Optically it is the same Sigma design as the previous 
28-70 (#11265).
