  One question though - I am going to have to work with my lens 
  stopped down due to the excess light.  Probably in the realm 
  of f16.  This totally sucks for portraiture as it increases 
  depth of field.  Any suggestions how to fix this?
 
 If you put one (or more like a couple) of Neutral Density filters on the
 front then this will cut the light entering the lens and let you open up
 the aperture again.  This one is pretty simple to fix really.  

won't that screw up the AF?

Nope.  The AF can't tell the difference between a lens with an ND
filter being used on a bright day and the same lens without the filter
being used on a dull day.
