I wasn't giving you full credit for your panning skills, Walt. I was unfairly salving my panning jealously by assuming a portion of the image sharpness was due to the Killdeer's traveling in the same direction as the car. Now I'm even more impressed. :-)

I do like the lens, and have been able to get surprisingly sharp shots even wide-open, and really sharp ones at 2.8 on up to 16. (Oddly enough, I can't think of a time when I've shot with a narrower aperture than that.) But for the lack of aperture contacts, I might have used it more than my 50/1.7. The passenger window is on the right side of the car in this case, as I was riding shotgun while my sister drove. -- Walt On 4/25/2012 7:08 AM, Jack Davis wrote: > Nice wing shot, Walt!
