[QUOTE="thegaffney, post: 227009, member: 12353"] Ordered a used one from eBay after reading all the great reviews about it, especially compared to the price of the Nikon one. It had a bunch of dust and smudges on both ends of the lens, but a quick cleaning revealed it was spotless, thankfully. I don't know how someone could keep a lens in that kind of shape, especially if you were selling it, but oh well. It's my first time with a lens this large, it's hard to keep it steady handheld, but I got my monopod and tripod to help with that. And I definitely realized you need to use the shutter speed rule if you don't want a blurry picture. Took a bunch of pictures of the dogs and got this pretty neat shot I think. Shows the detail pretty good, this was just above f/3 something if I remember right. Used one of my SB-600s to help out. This is my first time using my phone to upload a picture, so if it didn't work or if it is took small let me know. Definitely recommend this lens to anyone, so far :) it also found a new home in my case Sent from my VS870 4G using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
