It is heavy, Chris, I must admit.  But, I'm primarily using it with a monopod.  I'm looking forward to butterfly season, to see how it works out for those shots.

That’s great, Jim.  I remember being very happy with the lens, although having 
to carry it was something to think about.

I think you are going to have fun with that lens.   As long as you have
plenty of light, it looks great!

Frank, I think it was me, not the lens.  The differences you noted in
the second paragraph were due to weather.  Clouds have been around all
day today.

I got this grab shot at the bird bath later today, tilting the camera up
against the window to capture the edge of the bird bath. It came out fine.

I think I just need more experience with the gear.  I'm not, at least at
this time, sending it back.

Hmm... the SWD picture is unsharp and/or shaken, I don't think you can
conclude anything from that picture. Except that the lens is a lemon if
you
can't get it any better.

I noticed 1/100 for the SWD version and 1/320 & 1/500 for Takumar
versions
though (which I like btw). Could that explain the difference?
