I was just standing in Walgreens leafing through this month's Popular Photography, and they had a section describing lens categories, kinda aimed at newbies - Super zoom, fast-50, mid-range zoom, super telephoto, macro, etc, etc. They had a photo of some lens representing each category, and the photo they had representing the "fast short telephoto" category was... The 77ltd. Probably because it's just so darn purty. Or possibly because the author of the article liked it best in that category.
Anyway, thought it was neat because that category included all the 85mms from Canon, Nikon, Oly, etc.
