The shot of the redheaded woodpecker is a great example of why I won't use mirror lenses. The bird and background are pretty nice, but the tree ruins the shot. ugh. I guess if you can minimize OOF highlights the lenses can be useful. Certainly more portable than my 500/4, but I'm happy to lug around my 8lb lens. -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
