However, I thought the lens was every bit as well made as other lenses of its type, and the AF seemed very fast when I put it to the test.  I took some test shots, but my laptop does not have a new enough PS Elements to read the files.  Will have to wait until I get home to process them.  The Q seems to be very well designed, and should be a hit.  I am thinking very seriously about getting one, after we get moved to Texas.
