Hi!

Thanks, Boris.
I guess what you mean is, it's a bit unusual to get rather nice concert
shots with such a slow combo?

Indeed.

Well, I really should get the 2.8/200mm or the 2.8/80-200mm. I know. But I
don't have that kind of money available right now.

Once more I agree ;-).

Please look at these shot, made with the same combo:

Cool shots. Can you tell us what was the aperture?

I have another reasonably cheap alternative to 2.8/200 et al. Tamron 90/2.5 Macro (manual focus) goes only to 1:2. There is a special doubler matched to this lens. With the doubler you get 1:1 macro factor and it becomes 180/5. I realize it is not 2.8/200 but it is probably 1/5 or even less of the price. I got mine for about $120.
