I know those suckers can really move.

If you think the SL 24-90 is heavy, just try this one. The lens by itself weighs over 6 pounds. I'm going to have to go to the gym to be able to use it again; however, I can focus it now! I had retired it along with all of my manual focus lenses but my new eye makes it possible to use it again. Here is a hummingbird with Ted's lens: http://www.pbase.com/image/166201489 Just call me Ted (or Doug)! I'm still practicing!! Those hummers move so fast!!
