you are doing very good with your new lens, glad you had the shot on the ground, makes the other shots that more impressive.

Well, My Tamzooka arrived today. So, of course, it's cloudy and rainy here today. I took a few test shots and can say that I am impressed with the vibration control. The light is so soft here today, I couldn't really make a judgement on focus sharpness, so I hope for some sun this weekend.

I'll try to do some comparison shots between the 150-600 and my Nikon 300mm F/4 with 1.4 TC.

The weather is mostly cloudy and the light is terrible here today. I took the Tamzooka out and was impressed by how quickly it focused in the dark, flat light. I don't have much to show for my outing today, but the moon popped out in a small patch of blue sky. This is uncropped on my D7100.

The vibration control works fairly well. It's a little hit or miss, like every VR Nikon I've ever had is, but here's a bunny shot at 460mm f/8 and 1/200. Remember that 460mm on the D7100 is equal to about 690mm on an FX or 35mm camera. The first shot is the full frame, the second is 100% crop. There is a fair amount of noise since it was pretty dark and 1600 ISO. THE VC worked pretty well.

I did have one episode where the lens just refused to autofocus and shut down. I had to take the lens off and put it back on to get the AF running again. I know others have reported this, as well. This happens very occasionally with my Nikkor 300mm f/4, and I just have to turn the camera off and back on. Whether this is an issue with my camera or the lenses, I can't say at this point.

The lens doesn't really feel heavy to me. It's only a little heavier than what I'm used to carrying around.

I'm hoping for some better weather on a day that I can get out and really give this lens a complete test at more reasonable ISO levels. So far, though, I'm liking the lens.

Merilynne, there will be no stopping you now! Check HERE for a case, I got one and it fits like it was made for it and the price is very reasonable. Check HERE for the UV filter I bought.
