I would strongly recommend that you consider the 24-70mm version which
is better suited to digital and has that very valuable extra coverage
at the 24mm end.

The 28-70mm is a very good lens on film but in my experience of owning
and using boith lenses, the 24-70mm is better for digital at all focal
lengths, with noticeably less CA.
