Roger,
very nice photos, thanks!
By the way, I once bought a Canon zoom lens, I think it was
70-300 mm, a small thing that I thought was surprisingly cheap.
I had always used Canon equipment before and had an SLR with
three lenses, including one very good tele-zoom.
But the new lens was pure fraud. It was a good zoom up to around
100 mm, but beyond that it simply enlarged the picture without
keeping it sharp. In other words, I might as well have used a
fixed 50 mm lens and used enlarged clippings.
I returned that lens instantly.
Today I use a digital compact camera, Panasonic, with a Leica
zoom lens. It is so much smaller, lighter, and also cheaper,
that I get more and better pictures from it overall, even though
it is inferior in some circumstances.
