Thanks Walt, that's a good point. I can probably dumpster-dive something
temporarily that will be 90% as good.

While some of the situations I want to use this in are fairly flat light,
some may not be. As well, even the flat light light can be overhead
fluorescent banks (ech) which could cause flare. I've had to print B&W shots
from other zooms with higher grade filters and suspect flare is partly to
blame (of course, so is the flat light).
A couple more questions for the 80-200 owners if I could:
- What's the distance on the real thing from the thread to the front edge?
- What's the type code (e.g. XY3Z)?
Thanks,
Andrew
