Thanks for the fast answer Doug! I agree - it's when I have two objects in
field (say, a pair of chickadees) and I need to pick one to be sharp. Then
again, I'd have to do that with any long lens anyway, so it really doesn't
mater! Kind of funny - the more you use this lens, the more you like it. It'
s always attached to a body with it's stock now, ready to go - even if
something shows up in my yard!
