Actually, its a bit slow if the light fades, and has trouble at f8
snapping into focus. Having said that, it will take Helen to 800mm
equivalent with only small lenes/body outfit, so she may well "whip my
ass" again when we go to Kenya with you.

My Nikon is only 24 hours from Ballarat, one day away from my arms. Of
course I don't have a lens to fit it yet ;-)
