AND it lets you have that legendary 16t everyone is so worked up about haha. try it, it's great!
Thank you for this! I'm going to work with the 12-25 for a bit when I get it in the next day or so and if I miss the 28 too much, I'll definitely try it. As I said, I don't daily come even close to needing the 11 and if it had been an option, a 12-28 such as this would have been my choice in the first place.
