[QUOTE="murphc13, post: 419204, member: 36745"] And it wears my d810 with battery grip as a rear lens cap!!!Seriously it's a monster.I heard everyone say its heavy but being a strong guy I thought I could be the one to tame it.How wrong I was!!!!I can handhold it and take a few shots but it gets tiring quickly. A few observations The OS is very good.Not as "lock on" as VC but decent nonetheless. Build quality is SOLID The IQ is excellent. It was overcast when I took her out so I was limited by the aperture to keep my shutter speed over 1k. I'll go to the zoo at the weekend if the weather is good but I think this will be an excellent lens in the right conditions A monopod will be needed,that's for sure. Pics to come:):) [/QUOTE]
