Larry:

I tested an ATX 150-500.  I was really tempted to buy it.  However, I found
that I couldn't quite get it to reproduce the details in bird feathers as I
had hoped.  It was a very contrasty lens (nice), but in my testing on ducks
and swans I couldn't get the feather detail.  What is your experience?  Did
I just have a bad hair day?

Price was good, I've kinda been kicking myself since for not buying it anyway.
