As long as we're discussing zooms, we might as well bring up the new
Tokina 35-200 f/2.8 Macro-zoom.  It's a wonderful lens.
I have a (made in Japan, USA available also) 35-200 and love it.  It 
is very compact, sturdy, and lightweight.  I've had no problems with
the one-touch focusing, nor have I had any distortion/coloration 
problems.  What's really great is that you can combine it with a 2X
extender, and still have a reasonably short lens which brings you from
70 to 400mm with good quality.  In effect, you have a good 35-400mm 
Macro-zoom with a pretty decent exposure range.
I use mine with a Canon AE1-Program, with no problems in the program 
mode.  
Does anyone have any comments?  I'd love to know what's wrong with the
lens--it's seems to good to be true.
