So my quest for a fast, versatile lens has been narrowed down to these two. Both are f2.8 all the way through, both review pretty well, so it's really more a matter of do I need the wide side or the tele side? While I work that out, I was wondering if anyone here has any opinions on these lenses.
FYI - street prices for the 28-75 are about $330 and the 17-50 are about $425, so that's another influencing factor...

Also these are 'Di' marked lenses, meaning they're made for digital, not full 35mm film. Does the 1.5x focal length multiplier still hold for these types of lenses?
Thanks,
