Uploaded both sessions to flickr. Of course the sharpness of the 70-200mm F2.8 is totally lost using the build-in effect. The sample from first session without using the effect below.

Effect applies nicely but the vertical band of sharpness 

looks so "not right" :-( The horizontal band is effective 

and visually believable. Surely this has something to do 

with the way our brains process visual clues relating to 

our experiences of distances. For believable images I'm 

thinking the only purpose of switching the sharp band to 

fall perpendicular to the long dimension is to keep that 

band horizontal when the camera/format is rotated from 

"landscape" to "portrait" .... IOW the band needs to be 

always parallel to the horizon for visual credibility.
