FA 80-320 on the *istD

[Paul Stenquist]

I've defended this lens before, and you know what? I still like it. 
It's a great and inexpensive lens for casual picture taking on the 
*istD. Here's a shot from the zoo that I snapped a couple of weeks ago:

Here's a 100% crop:

Yes, there's better long glass available, but not for less than a 
hundred bucks, this lens is a star.

Lots of fun.
BTW, the lens is at 200mm, f8 @ 1/1500, ISO 400. Handheld of course.
