Re: FA 80-320 on the *istD

[Paul Stenquist]

I generally allow polar bears to stand wherever they please :-). I 
haven't used the lens enough to say for certain how well it performs 
under other conditions. I've heard it's not as good at 320 as it is at 
200. However, it would be hard to judge based on handheld results. If I 
take the trouble to pull out a tripod, I generally shoot with a prime.

Hej Paul,
Nice shot. Iwould have tried to move the polar bear a little bit to 
the left. I have one question though. I've found that with some of 
these zoomes, high contrast targets make for fine pictures but low 
constrast really makes for a poor picture.  Is this true for the FA 
80320 and is it as good at 300 mm as at 200 mm?

Cheers,
Ronald

   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.
