It is a very good lens with somewhat sluggish focusing, though
firmware updates have speeded it up a fair bit.

A flood of friends and cousins visiting here in the last month from
all over the place has meant that my single malt stocks has been
replenished a fair deal - Lagavulin 16, Lagavulin 1995 DE, Macallan
Cask Strength, Balvenie "Golden Cask"14, Nikka Yoichi 15 (fast
becoming one of my favourites), Nikka Miyagikyo 15, Nikka Coffey Malt
12, Ardbeg 10, Amrut Fusion and Amrut Peated. The last two are single
malts made in Bangalore and very highly recommended, superb stuff and
comparatively inexpensive to boot. A variety to suit any palate, and a
 good time to visit...(-:

Cheers
Jayanand
