Thanks, Boris. I've gotten quite an education from this thread. That is, if I put into practice what's been suggested. I'm undecided about what to take for a long lens, my a 70/210, which I went shopping for because I knew it was highly rated, or to get me the m 135/3.5 that was recommended yesterday.
