I've gotten some great wildlife shots that would have been very difficult if not impossible to get with a less hand holdable lens. My wife would kill me now if I were to sell the lens" - -------------------- End Original Message -------------------- Tom, As you've noted there's a very big difference between using a long lens hand-held and using the same lens on a tripod. It make a whole different kind of image possible. BTW I use mostly Kodachrome 64 and 200 with my f/6.8 Telyts. My wife (a beginning photographer) also would never let me hear the end of it if I were to lose my sanity and sell the Telyts.
