As much as I hate to admit it in public, I encountered what I think maybe, just maybe, a similar situation the other day with my Vario-Elmarit-R 28-90mm zoom and DMR. I can't judge what you meant by "tends to go banana," but my lens certainly seemed to, or at least I wondered what had happened to it. I was using flash zoomed to 90 mm and wasn't paying enough attention to f-stop, and I ended up with razor sharp pictures of microphone stands, music stands and microphones, and behind them, out of focus performers. What happened? I had forgotten for the moment how shallow the depth of field becomes with that lens as focal-length increases, or with any long focal-length lens for that matter. I've looked at the technical data and promised myself to remember to radically stop down when I zoom long. I will probably forget to do this again, as I tend to learn the "hard way." I think I'll pin a print of one of those images on my wall to keep my memory fresh. The old timers on the list will be amused (if not aghast!) at this silly error of mine. Mea Culpa! When I saw what I had done, I knew that I knew all that, but had to relearn it in my old age.
