Yes, I think the vertical crop is better balanced. How big an image were you left with after the crop? I find the 80-320 a real workhorse lens. Seems to perform much better than would be expected for a fairly low-spec lens. Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters We

Very nice, Jack, though I think I'll stick with my Cheerios for breakfast! Did you use the 80-320 at 320? People often dump on its performance past 250 or so, but I've generally found it okay. Rick --- Jack Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Went to the local State Wildlife Area, again, this >
