They are still working on some refraction issues with their new Fluorite Carbon fiber lenses... sure saves a lot of weight over normal glass some cameras, some lenses,

I'm also impressed using this lens inside with the built in flash. Naturally, you have to be standing a good distance away to get a clear shot but this was from the other side of my kitchen. (both shots resized but unedited)
OH, Tom (Belmondo) ... I hear your warning and I'm heeding it. I now put the camera strap around my neck with the 100-400 L on the camera. Figure it's two fold ... it'll help me from dropping it and good workout for my neck and back muscles ...  2 - 5DMKII's, Powershot SX 150 IS

His 100-400 L wasn't wearing a seat belt some cameras, some lenses,

The sad truth is I was suffering from a momentary brain fart and let the lens roll out of the truck door onto the ground. I've taken steps to make sure this never happens.....a good thing because I've bought a new truck that's a few inches higher than the old one. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

Now that you mention it, I only ever knew one female trombone player in all my years of music; I wish I could remember what she looked like. It’s safe to say that if she had developed in any ‘non-symmetrical’ manner, I'm sure her image would have etched itself into my brain forever. You don’t forget things like that. I'm not short.
