Yes, 90mm. Picture not as sharp as I would like. Maybe when shooting 
at 1/30 and below, I should set to "continuous" and fire of three.

At least, now, I've finally formed the habit of setting the lens data 
when I change lenses. I only own 35 and 90. I remember when I forgot 
to change from 35 to 90 in EXIF and you asked: "How did you get that 
close to that duck".

Incidentally, way back in the early forties, I got myself 
traumatized. After looking for the longest time for a decent 35mm 
camera, I found a used Wirgin at Central Camera in Chicago. (I think 
I told this story before) ?hot a roll of Kodachrome and proudly took 
the slides into the lab to show off to a colleague. I also took the 
camera and had a finger wag from a security guard--this was the 
Argonne Forest site of the wartime Manhattan Project. Well, this guy 
starts looking at the slides with a 20X magnifier and announces: 
"These ain't sharp; your camera is no good" (they had been taken at 
1/100--light camera, low inertia.) But when he got to the last shot 
he exclaimed: "This one is sharp." That last picture had been taken 
using a tripod. I was so traumatized that I wouldn't shoot handheld 
under 1/250 for years.
