Me too Stu. It seems more at home at short range than the 300. Great little lens.

Does anyone know whether Open Office will run with W7?

While I'm sure contrast plays a part in perceived sharpness, I'm not sure how stabilising the camera increases it.

Ok - next attempt.
I have put the flowers on the floor, collapsed the tripod to it's minimum height and hung my diving belt (16lbs of high hysteresis lead shot) over the barrel of the lens carefully.

Thanks for all the replies.

As to the subject moving, it's in a vase on our mantelpiece and anything stronger than a tiny draught gives Mrs Oggy hypothermia. Prime suspect has to be the tripod.
(Wonders off with some pieces of wood and bags of lead shot:lol

Something there rings a bell Stefan. It's about 35 years since I studied any optics, but the phrase "optical angles subtended" comes to mind.

Oggy, I wonder at the widsom of putting that amount of force on the lens mount....it's usual to weigh down the tripod, not the lens.
If the former, although I am not recommending this to people, I was happy that the metal foot on the lens was up to the job.
If the latter, have another look at the photograph.
