[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 329467, member: 8705"] I got mine yesterday and I got to take a few shots to try it. My feeling so far is that I'm very happy with it and that comes from someone who is generally dissapointed when I first get something. I also got a Lowepro Lens Case (11 x 26cm ) which fits this lens. It's a very snug fit, but I can get the lens (Hood reversed) and the tripod ring attached in the bag. It is only just barely long enough but that's fine all you need. Here are a few test shots from today. They are nothing special, but they tell me I can handhold it and get acceptable results. The camera was D7100. The focal lengths are between 320mm and 550mm. I think they are mainly F8 at 1/1000 with auto ISO doing it's thing. The blackbird is at ISO 3200 which is a testament to the D7100 as I was pleased with the way this one cleaned up.
