I have used a couple A 70-210/4's quite a bit over time, and one of
them (due to much use in very dusty conditions, including wind-blown
sand) actually started to develop a "gritty" feel whe

This is a personal preference issue, it seems to me.
If you want to use the lens pointed up or down on a tripod, then I
can see
Hi,
could be - I can't remember what was on mine. I have neither of them
now, but I seem to remember them both being 70-210. Kilpatrick's book
