comment: | Another vote for the beercan. I picked one up for $99 in excellent condition at a local photo store despite the recent price increases. I opted for the beercan over the 70-210 f/3.5-4.5 after finding several tests that showed while center sharpness between the two is about equal, the beercan is much sharper in the corners. No regrets over the increased size/weight (which is not that bad) - after my first set of pictures I am sold! |
