No Gary, I´m not especially disappointed to learn about this. For me it´s 
enough to know it´s a very good lens and that I bought it for a fraction of 
what a similar lens costs today. 

It would be interesting to compare the performance of this lens with that of an 
IS-3 with the B-300 converter attached. Although I have these myself I find it 
hard to make a fair comparison. What I can say is that when I started to use my 
IS-3000 I found my pictures to be exceptionally crisp and clear, and the 
colours was standing out in a way that I hadn´t seen when using my OM-2SP. With 
the OM camera and either of my two zooms (28-48/4 and 75-150/4) the whole 
picture could sometimes have a yellowish colourisation, something that I have 
never seen with the IS camera. Can´t say for sure if I´ve seen it with the 
300/4.5 on, but I don´t think so. As of sharpness with the two different 300 mm 
combos I leave it to others, but to me there seems to be no significant 
difference. 


BTW Gary, I think it was you who enjoyed listen to Enya as well. Have you heard 
the new CD "Paint the sky with stars"? Even my 15 year old son, who normally 
only listens to the latest top hits, seems to enjoy it very much. Only two real 
new songs though on the whole CD!
