It goes without saying that its not all about focal length. Apeture or as I like to call it, Girth, is probably even more important :D Dave has a Focal Ratio of F4.5 doesn't he? Does his missus complain that he is too Fast? :D

Ya, and boy do I regret it.
I'm always the one left to help you
erect it and put it away in the dark.

No wonder why I can't sleep.
