i dont really miss it....
Note the power zoom lens was completely different optically, and was not internally focused.
I have both the 28-80 and 28-105 power zooms. optically good, but the front group, which both turns for focus and extends for zoom never really felt solid, there was a lot of side to side play in the group. Used them quite a bit until I got my tamron 28-75 f2.8
