[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 448074, member: 986"] I received my lightly used copy of the 1 NIKKOR VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 on Friday. My initial impressions were holy cr*p is it big. Second reaction was a big freaking grin on my face when I mounted it on my wife's J4 and started focusing. Wow, wow, wow. What a focal range: 189-810mm FX equivalent!!! Build quality is amazing, focusing is quick. Other thoughts are that the lens hood is larger than expected which makes taking the lens cap on and off difficult (and maybe impossible). This lens doesn't ship with the TR-N100 Tripod Mount. We headed to Delaware to visit a friend. Saturday night was a full moon, so I thought I'd try a moon shot using my V2 - handheld. This is a cropped 100% enlargement processed with Lightroom CC with additional CA removal. I've seen amazing results with this lens by Phillydog1958 and when this fell into my lap I couldn't pass. I tend to shoot more wide then long so I'm really curious to see how having this lens in my bag will change my shot selection. [ATTACH=CONFIG]154391._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
