I agree that it's a decent lens! The haze factor is always problematic as well. One of the "best" photos I've see was one of such a passenger jet/contrail crossing the daylight full moon. In that case it appeared to have been shot with a 1200mm lens..or close equivalent. Hard to imagine the odds of getting such a shot.
