Shel, I appreciate the suggestion. But unfortunately for me, the only way to test it is to buy it first. And they are not exactly cheap (I saw one today somewhere advertived for $250 and that's the cheapest one I have seen yet). So yes, you are right -- in an ideal world. But thanks for the information: this lens does sound like the one I am looking for, I was just put off by quite a few negative comments I read about it. Mishka
