If you do not understand this, >there is a book called............. What good is that incredible sharpness when the camera is hand held at a low shutter speed, is what I'm asking. If you don't understand how you get maximum sharpness maybe you need to do some testing on tripod and off. You discuss lenses as if there's no more to getting incredible sharpness than just owning an incredibly sharp lens. I assure you that unless you use a tripod in low light, you lose all of that sharpness and your lens is reduced to a cheap plastic lens in sharpness. -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography, http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
