Thanks, Len. The 560/6.8 is a two element design; it never came in 
anything else. It's reasonably handholdable, as long as you remember 
you're waving around something that's over half a meter long and it 
has an angle of view equivalent to 900mm when you put it on a 20D, 
and no image stabilization.
