Thanks a lot, Dennis! That guide graph certainly bounces around a lot more at 2700mm. Most of the credit must go to the AP900 which is running at 5Kg over "max" weight and still performing wonderfully.

Thanks, Marcus. I'll see if I can pull out a little more.

Thanks, Mike!

Thanks, Steve. I will definitely experiment some more.
