Thanks. No not a zoo shot. I've just got back from the UK and it was sat on a windowsill of a cottage nr Salisbury, in broad daylight. The window was open so I'm guessing that it was a pet taking a bit of air. The "background" is the net curtains

You can push-pull the new model, but you have to grasp it at the end, which is awkward.

There is a BIG difference between "can push pull" on this or most rotating zooms, and the instant response and smooth feel of the real one touch zooms of yore,

...the 100-400mm MkI being the last of it's breed. :(

I liked the push-pull too, but the twist is not so bad, and anyway, mine stays mostly at the 400 end when in use. Not that much twisting to be done.
