Hi all,

Here's the first few images taken using my new 70-200 telephoto, which arrived yesterday! Nothing too fancy here, but from what I've seen so far it looks like a great lens. I'm hoping to get a few eclipse photos this evening (provided the clouds stay away...)

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
Stephen

Superb lens Stephen. The detail and sharpness is stunning. Are they tripod shots?

Yes, it does look like a great lens, although I haven't really tested it properly yet. Good value at the moment as well - I picked it up for less than $800 this week. These shots were all hand held, but the eclipse shots in the Solar System forum were tripod-mounted.

Cheers,
Stephen
