[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 417440, member: 11881"] [b]Re: Rented a 300mmf4 for a week[/b] Image quality is good, very happy with it. And as I use it more, I get better with it. The lens is best used with a monopod and not handheld. You can hand hold, but it's just too easy to lose your target. What I mean is that with a zoom I would back out, locate, and then zoom in. It takes a bit of practice finding your target with this amount of magnification. The telephoto really makes it much easier to stay on target - small targets. My shooting today, after fine tuning the focus at the end of the day yesterday, was much more consistent. I've also become much more practiced at being very still when shooting with this lens - attention to proper technique and body posturing since there is no VR is critical. Here is a link to my thread where I have posted my images.
