Everybody knows cat photos are trash so that one can't possibly be any good but if it were possible for cat photos to be good that would be a great one. -T On Sun, Jul 3, 2011 at 2:22 PM, Mark Cassino wrote: > My mother's health took a drastically bad turn last weekend, and I spent the > last week in Iowa helping out.

Companion animals can be wonderful company, especially for the elderly, so it's so sad that she has to be separated from her cat, but undoubtedly unavoidable if she can't care for it. I always liked the 80-320 - it always seemed to produce photos much better than would be expected for a 'consumer' lens. Unfortunately mine stopped focusing properly and it became impossible to achieve infinity focus. I toyed with the idea of getting it repaired but opted instead for a DA 55-300. Seems to be equally as good.
