I have to admit that's one of the reasons I'm really lusting after a 50-135. Complete sealing so I can go out in the rain to the zoo when it's empty.... and not worry about snow with the camera suctioncupped to the car.

does it really have this stuff? I've turned it all off - I shoot RAW. Why do I need it? Unless I'm shooting at ISO6400, I have approx 0 noise in the shadows, so I can underexpose by > three whole stops and still get a decent JPG.

Case in point: this. http://www.23hq.com/23666/6588167_ff9964c18e8ae7c59b934b4bdc5eae64_large1k.jpg

It's 1/30, ISO 6400 and using an smc-m 135@f8. I exposed for the highlights - the rest got pushed and then calmed down in UFRaw. UFRaw said "+3.1" if I remember correctly...

You don't need it, shoot RAW.

the 100-300 was very hard to find late last year and was stopped a while back. The new one at ffordes was supposed to be their last one, as was the one at SRS.

They were not available new *anywhere* that I looked and I looked all over the planet.

You've stopped a bunch of my colleagues in their tracks with these (no pun intended). Very nice set.

considering the EXIF has been stripped..........

if you have Firefox, try the "EXIF viewer" addon.
