Though the 560mm f/6.8 is on the camera most of the time, as far as I'm 
concerned I haven't photographed an animal well until I've made a 
well-composed photo with the DMR and 280mm f/4 APO.  After 3+ years using 
this combination I still have to be sitting down before I look at those 
prints.  They're boggleaciously gorgeous and I'll gladly spend whatever time 
it takes to get close enough to use the 280.
