I've not been so blessed with any of those lenses.  But, it is true the 90/2
has that magical quality.  In fact, the bokeh and DoF is probably reasonably
close. Most of those 300/4.5 shots were taken at F8 whereas, the 90/2 would
have been a bit wider-open.

Maybe.

The wind was blowing them around, and the reason why I was using F8 had less
to do with DoF (although, I'm pleased with the results) and more to do with
fudge-factor.



> P.S. Just kidding, the 300/4.5 is wonderful



For some odd reason, the 300/4.5 produces images that make you think it's an
F2.8 lens.  I've personally never encountered another lens like it.

Not bad for a cast-off, eh?
