      Yeah, that's impressive, especially the $6,000 price.  I think I'd sooner 
spend far less money and get a fun lens, such as a Tamron 31A 200-500/5.6.  If 
we get another stimulus cheque I may do just that.

I had the near eq. Tokina 150-500/5.6. It was good on film. On the APS-C Canon 60D, it was a complete disaster. I don't know why, some sort of interaction between lens and sensor?

I tried everything, heavy tripod, IS off, careful, magnified focus. Soft, smeary photos."Atmospheric" is the best that could be said of the better ones.

I sold it before going µ4/3.

Tamron and 4/3 maybe fine.
