Hi Bob,

I saved 4 clicks (not stops) of ISO. Had I used the 200-600 (at f/6.3) I would have had to have used ISO 6400 to get the same exposure (or ISO 5000 for the right exposure!)

I understand that not everyone can afford or hand hold the 600 f/4. Heck, I can hand hold the big lens only for sporadic flight photography. And it is important for folks who do own both to know when to use each one.

with love, artie
