It hand holds VERY well, unlike the Sigma. My point was only that the 24-70L, while being a sharp lens, if used handheld, that sharpness is negated. Any lens handheld loses alot of all that extra cost and quality handheld. I'll go as far as saying it's a waste of money of you are going to handhold such a lens. Hey, I'm a handholder, I know what kind of results can be had doing it. I know you 'can' get a nice image. But the differences between PhotoDo's 3.6 and 3.9 disappear. -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography http://jimdavis.oberro.com/ Standard Poodles for fun BMW motorcycle for pleasure * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
