Thanks Jan that is great advice!! And Mark, I do have a tripod however I prefer not to use it, but that may just be a matter of getting used to it.


Jan, you open you a whole new door of possibilities, I read a review that stated this lens was great for portraits! I first bough the camera to do sports / animals (horses, dogs, cats, domestic pets Not wildlife) but I am realizing how much I enjoy taking pictures of People! Defenitly going to keep on researching!
