I am thinking of getting that lens for myself. How do you find it?
You always seem to get amazing sharp images.

when light is low the AF can hunt quite a bit but generally speaking its a great lens. very sharp at f8. its pretty heavy but you canhand hold shots from 1/160th on which is great for a 500mm.

David,

More stunning shots! You're really tempting me with that lens.

That's such a beautiful and innocent looking creature. Warms the cockles of my heart. :)

Thank you.

Regards,
Humayun
