Thank you so much for the recommendations. Isn't the 50-250/5 one of those
phantom lenses that almost nobody has ever seen? I'd love to hear a
firsthand account of how it performs as long as there's a chance of laying
my hands on one someday.

Cool. Again, I appreciate the tip.

Thanks, George. The amount of traffic on this list is pretty impressive. I
was wondering if it was just going to be represented by a few posts a week.
It's great that there's so much information exchanged here. Lots of heated
exchange of opinions, too. ;-)
