[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 164374, member: 10784"] Ok, it arrived today~!!!! As my wife is out of town no one was home and they wanted a signature... They left a note (would not have helped) and I was also getting email updates. It showed "out for delivery" this morning and then about 1:30 I got an email saying "Note Left". I called and they said I could pick up the PO until 4:30. I went after work and my driver had already been in so the package was there!! Got it home and opened it up... first impression, weighty, feels well made, I sense it has a decent build quality. Tried the manual focus and focal length ring.. both seemed very smooth. I put the lens on the 7100 and for giggles tried it in manual focus mode. Not too bad, though the 7100 has a very large and bright viewfinder.. I then took a couple pictures at 12, 24 and at 50 with my 18-105... here they are: (no crops on any) 50 mm [ATTACH=CONFIG]41842._xfImport[/ATTACH] 24mm & 12 mm [ATTACH=CONFIG]41843._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]41844._xfImport[/ATTACH] 2nd set.... 50mm [ATTACH=CONFIG]41847._xfImport[/ATTACH] here is the Tokina at 24 and then 12mm [ATTACH=CONFIG]41846._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]41845._xfImport[/ATTACH] The 7100 is going to wear the Tokina tomorrow when I go to work. I will try a few indoor shots in the plant. After work, I will take a couple at the airport when I pick my wife up. I am liking it so far... think I will have some fun with this..
