Check the other manufacturer's websites to see whether they offer a similar 'vendor search' function.

Assuming you're looking for feedback about the site rather than the photographs, here goes.

The structure/navigation is nice and clean, which is always a great start, and congratulations for avoiding Flash and too much Javascript. However I do find black backgrounds and coloured text a bit difficult to look at for long periods of time.

Also your navigation (to the left) takes up a lot of room, which may contribute to the site being best viewed at 1024x768 or greater. Many people still use 800x600, and it is always a good idea to cater for this as a 'lowest common denominator' type of approach.

You don't list the three options (and I don't own that lens, more's the pity!) so I can only give the following example.

I own the 70-200 f4L. It has two focussing options, 1.2m-infinity and 3m-infinity. Note that 1.2m is the close focus limit for this lens.

If I am shooting all sorts of different subjects at different distances, I leave it on 1.2-inf. However, if I know that my subjects are going to be more than 3m away, I can flick the switch and get (slightly) faster autofocus as the system does not have to bother with objects in the 1.2-3m range.

Applying this to your lens, I imagine that there is an option from the close focus limit of the lens to infinity. You could use this all the time, or if your subjects are further away, change to another option to get faster AF, especially if subjects are moving.

As I said, I don't own the lens so may well be wrong. But that's how the options work for my situation.
