comment:	This is a great lens but you really need to spend some time with it to get the best shots. The focus area is tiny. Any body movement or hand shake will mess you up big time. I shoot hand held 99% of the time and there has been a learning curve that has included how I grip the camera. When you get things in proper focus the results are amazing.
