Originally posted by photolady95 Great series Norm. I'm surprised that the PLM is sharp at 300mm, when I try that length mine is soft at 300mm, so I back it off to 260 or 270mm. How come yours is sharp at that length?
My first one was like yours, I dropped the camera with it on it, it broke in half. I decided to take a shot at a better copy instead of paying to get the old one repaired. This one rivals the DA*60-250.
I should drop in this link for those who might be interested... I'm not associated with this company.

The worst is it would cost me $3 day to keep this full where I am. And I already put out 4-5 kilos of seed every day.
Right now I'm feeding 100 grackles, 20 Jays, 8-10 chickadees, 4 squirrels, four chipmunks, 2 grouse, and occasionally two crows. And I don't get tax deductions.
In another month I'll cut them off, but the small birds, the 7 varieties of sparrows etc. won't even be here until the end of April.
I used to feed all summer, but those 100 grackles will never leave if I keep the feeders out, and once the bugs are out in full force there's lots of free food for them.
