There have been some comments on zoom lenses.  I have a Cannon
70-210.  Although it is on the large size I have been very
happy with it. I have not noticed any lack of sharpness.  In fact
I have used it with the Cannon 2x extender and it still looks good.
However those shoots were taken froma tripod.  One thing to keep in
mind is that the minimum shutter speed is roughly 1 over the focal
length so generally one should be shooting at 1/250 for hand held
shots.
