I think at 100mm (or actually closer to 90mm when it's focused to it's closest distance, f/11 isn't that bad. And with more correction, F/11 with that lens will be better than f/11 with a lesser lens. Besides, this is a lens that cries out to be used at more than just near range. The overall performance of that lens justifies its use right up to 2.8. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Logic: The art of being wrong with confidence...
