Thanks< Paul -- I used the 28-135 in digital lens terms -   the longest 
lens I have...
Ya know, Keith asked that too, and yet all the tech info is on the site 
under each photo  - click on the exif link.
where it says "more details"    and a window drops down.

It tells the focal length I shot at, the 35mm equiv, the speed, etc...

I didn't write anything in the description area of the file info part so 
there are no more details other than what I said in
the captions.
