300mm f/2.8G + 1.7 TC + D800E = early returns

Well, my monster of a lens arrived safely yesterday and today I was able to take her out for a test drive. Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy here so all these images were taken at ISO 400.

I've got them broken down into the whole image followed by a crop. There not much PP on these shots and what their was consisted of exposure and lightening up the shadows. All were taken with a D800E, 300mm f/2.8G and 1.7 TC. My conclusion so far is that I absolutely love this lens. The focus is crazy fast and locks in very tight on the subject. It's an amazing piece of craftsmanship, I can't wait to get it out on a sunny day in Yellowstone park.
