I owned a non WR one and sold it, wasn't happy with it. The WR is supposed to have better bokeh and is definitely made better like the limited range with metal

Ah.. yeah I had seen that the build wasn't the best with that lens. Personally I'm on the look out for a Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8.

Heh Michael, what lens did you acquire? I have only primes up to now. Am contemplating a 100mm WR or a 200mm, cannot decide.

I bought a 100/2.8 last year to use out in the field for equestrian stuff but wanted something a bit longer that could still be handheld.
Ffordes had a 120/2.8 that had been serviced and looked to be in good condition so I went for that.
Dropping a roll off today so I`ll see if I made the correct decision

.
Not a lot of diff in the fl I know but I`m often on the back of a quad and the longer lengths get difficult.
