Re: Jeff, good points, but overstated just a bit

I rarely use a long lens. But if I leave home to take photos in an unfamiliar setting, someone's law says that I'll need a long lens, especially if I've left it behind. So, I want to carry a light long lens which I'll probably not use 9 times out of 10. So I bought the 50-230XC, and am happy with it. If I were a serious wildlife or sports photographer, I'd probably have gone for the faster XR zoom. Horses for courses.
