My take on this pro vs. consumer dilemma is that if
you are out there to make money, spend $2000 to get to
some remote site, while paying the mortgage back home,
you need to make all your shots pay. A large aperture
telephoto will 1/give you a higher percentage of
keepers due to higher shutter speeds used, and 2/let
you shoot later into the evening or earlier in the
morning. If you can double the number of salable
images, then that will go a long way to pay back the
trip costs and pay the mortgage, which remain fixed.
Notice that lens sharpness of "pro" versus "conmsumer"
doesn't enter into this equation (for discussion
purposes at least).

Could people who use the mindless automatic quoting of their software
at least check it before sending a reply? I did not say the above and
while there is little damage in this instance, I have had angry off
line responses from people in the past who mistakenly thought I had
said something I did not say. Better still, disable it and do it the
old fashioned way.
Thanks for your consideration.
