<< Thanks for this suggestion. Can you tell us a little more about the Sigma
120-300? Speed, filter size, weight, what you like about it? Doesn't come
with a tripod mount by chance, does it?
Thanks again,

There's a built in tripod mount with a large lock/unlock knob for swiveling
the camera. Also has a built in sunshade. It's just a little larger than the
75-150. Speed is f5.6-6.3. It focuses readily on my OM4T with a 2-13 screen.
The achromatic macro lens that comes with it allows you to shoot dragonflies
that fill the frame from about two feet or so. It's one ring push/pull to
zoom and twist to focus. Nice lens if you can find one. It takes 52mm
filters which works for me since I need 55mm for several lenses (35f2 and
35-105 for instance). So I use two adapters (55-52 and 52-49) to use 55mm
enhancing filter and polarizing filter on the 49mm lenses.With the 55-52mm
adapter, the sunshade still works, too.
Hope this helps
Ed
