I think short tele-zooms have been overshadowed by 70-210 which is pretty much standard these days. But I can imagine the 75-150 would be a perfect portrait zoom. :)The mailman delivered another christmas present to myself tonight. I think if I had to limit myself to one lens, the 75-150/4 would be it. It has a focal length range that covers about half of what I usually shoot. It is so small and has great balance. The focus and zoom are buttery smooth (it is in mint condition) and the test shots I put through it tonight are exceptionally sharp for any lens at 8"x12", much less a zoom. I am surprised I haven't heard more about this lens.

Alan Chan
