Was it windy? Those Canon lenses hold up very well against Nikon's, but of course you could find arguments against both on the net somewhere if you really wanted to. Looks like you did too... It's pretty tough to compare anything on your first shoot. Maybe the lenses need cleaning or you forgot to take off the lens cap. -- Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company: http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits Powerlet, Posi-Lock, Parts, Info, Photos K100RSes on both sides of the planet!
