Maybe that's the answer? Roy, do you by any chance have a filter on the 400? (To protect the lens from scratches?) If so, what happens when you take the filter off? Your bird reminds me of the weird and horrible results I got when I bought a set of cheap Hoya closeup lenses as a poor man's macro rig. Used them once, never touched them since.

Tannin,Rob . Yes I have a filter on. Thought I would a) Take the filter off and b) shot the bar code again - on a tripod with my beanbag (full of rice so weighs a ton) on top as a damper. what do you think, is this a good test?
