We figured out later that with the price of the bin if our marked prices on the garage sale were the prices we PAYED people to take the stuff away, we would have saved money by not having to get the bin. All I can say is that you've hit the extremes on your system all you've got to do is fill in the middle. Do you still have the Minivan or did you give them that too? The 135 is an unusually choice. I used the lens extensively this month and will say you are in a ballgame that leaves the compitiion behind or will at least inspire you. Be prepared for looser than past expected F stop turning ring. Don't let it throw you, it's probably intentional. I've gotten used to it. Mark :-) Rabiner
