I recently decided to pick up another lens sort of on a whim. It was meant to be somewhat of a replacement/substitution for my aging Nikon 80-200 f/2.8 AF-D. Not that the 80-200 was dying, but it certainly is starting to show it's age and has a few more lens defects than I ultimately want.
After being surprised at how well my Tokina 400mm f/5.6 was performing; I figured this lens would be worth a go. I read several pretty glowing reviews and had a hard time finding much said about it in a negative way. And for a price that's even half of what another 80-200 would run me; I had to pull the trigger on it.
I received the lens today and will be posting up a full review and several pics over the next few days. Just upon first inspection … this thing is a BEAST! Heavy and built like a tank. Grabbed just a few shots over lunch at the park. Ummm … yeah, I think it was worth it!!
More to come later …..
