straight up or straight down? Sounds like it's made for action and press

Carry some racers...er duct tape for locking the zoom/focus ring on a
tripod. Yes, it is an exceptional action/press lens. I got mine from a
working press photographer back East and see a few at the track often.
It, my 350/2.8, some converters, and a wide angle are all I carry now. I
think you'll be pleased with it.
