[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 243852, member: 8330"] Jury's still out on this lens. Today was too cold to really hunt for some shots. I took some tests and will posts some snippets of those pics. These were imported through lightroom but no PP except for cropping to show detail. Here's a squirrel: 200mm ISO320 f3.5 1/500' about 25 feet away [ATTACH=CONFIG]65908._xfImport[/ATTACH] cropped to 100% [ATTACH=CONFIG]65909._xfImport[/ATTACH] clock at 70mm ISO320 f3.5 1/500' about 10 feet away [ATTACH=CONFIG]65911._xfImport[/ATTACH] same pic at 100% [ATTACH=CONFIG]65912._xfImport[/ATTACH] blackhawk flew overhead and kind of caught me in the wrong focus/meter mode and against a brighter overcast sky 200mm ISO100 f2.8 1/2500' [ATTACH=CONFIG]65913._xfImport[/ATTACH] same pic at 100% [ATTACH=CONFIG]65914._xfImport[/ATTACH] 11inch spidey figurine (it's my daughters) across the pool about 45' away 200mm ISO100 f2.8 1/250' look at the vignetting and distortion [ATTACH=CONFIG]65915._xfImport[/ATTACH] same pic at 100% [ATTACH=CONFIG]65916._xfImport[/ATTACH] outdoor shower about the minimum away 5' 200mm ISO100 f2.8 1/320' [ATTACH=CONFIG]65917._xfImport[/ATTACH] same pic at 100% [ATTACH=CONFIG]65918._xfImport[/ATTACH] Little birdie figurine at 7' 200mm ISO640 f2.8 1/320' [ATTACH=CONFIG]65919._xfImport[/ATTACH] same pic at 100% [ATTACH=CONFIG]65920._xfImport[/ATTACH] I've gotten fairly adept at grabbing focus with a single focus point. But I've experienced so far that this lens will take 1 or 2 out of a 10 shot series way off focus (release only on focus). I was pretty careful when focusing each time. So not sure what that could indicate. Then again, I'm just a schlub with a camera so that could be the reason. This particular test run, nothing really knocked my socks off as being super great for a lens that is lauded by DxO as being 1 point above the Nikon VRII. I'm still playing around with it though.
