Hi Crew,
I find this interesting simply because I don't know what any of this stuff 
means and does? I'm a photographer not a techie!

What I can assure you is? If I had an S2 and this 400mm lens I wouldn't be 
asking any of these questions nor having any issues with it or them? Quite 
simply because????????   I'd be so damn busy out shooting with it, none of 
the above would make any difference.

It's sort of like... "What you don't know wont hurt you!" ;-) :-) :-)  All 
you need to do is shoot a bunch of frames and if they all look cool! Man yer 
blasting away completely thinking photos with nothing techie bugging you or 
bruising your brain! ;-)  "IT'S CALLED THE KISS PRINCIPAL!" Shoot it or lose 
it! Don't think, just click! :-)
cheers,
Dr. ted
