[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 244326, member: 10447"] I am still on the fence as to what I will buy Brian, if this lens turns out to be better than the Sigma zooms and the price is not much more than what I can buy a 50-500 Sigma for, I might end up with one. But that decision wont be made until I see some "real" independent reviews and comparisons. I still havent ruled out the Nikon 300 f4 +1.4TC yet also. The thing with this option that is making me hesitate, is the lack of convenience being a fixed focal length, and no VR. Back to the above photos, your right, we dont know a lot about them, a couple look to have a bit of distance between lens and subject while others are obviously quite close. And we dont know what has been done to those jpegs, they look like they could be straight out of camera to me. I got a noticeable improvement with a bit of PP on the one I had a play with. I am sure with RAW files from my D7100 I could do a lot better. [/QUOTE]
