If this isn't a prime-like performance from a zoom, I don't know what is... I bought the 16-45mm a while ago as a "stop gap" before I got a Tamron or Sigma 17-50 2.8, since it was just 120 dollars. But now that I have it I'm definitely not going for the third party lenses. Can't give up my 16-45...

CR, I feel the same way. I've been looking at the Tammy/Sigma too. Maybe I'll get one if it drops to $120.00, LOL.

Something rather heroic aout this tree I sailed by yesterday. 55-300 PLM @230mm. As is very usual here in Newfoundland, very dark and gray with wind and fog so did some post processing to brighten things up.

But still...rather heroic tree here!
