It was intended for safari work, but, you guessed, it weighed a ton ........ and the slightest wind made it almost impossible to focus. However, before the lens hood there's a "pointer" built- in ................ and by the focusing knob, there's a v-sighter. It works just great ................. Since joining the LUG, I'm now taking fitness classes to build-up certain muscles to ensure that it comes back into use ............... I live on the seventh floor of one of several apartment buildings, so "keeping-up" with my young neighbours ................. birds, of course, is in my thoughts! Have a wonderful trip, B.
