And just to show it can be used for other things as well:

I saw this thread this morning but unfortunately was too busy to sit down and write a coherent reply - since then most of the points have been covered.

Needless to say it's a super lens - it doesn't have Fuji's red badge for nothing!

RE the above photo. That is a SOOC JPG shot in 1.25x crop mode and cropped further but it is at full zoom of 400mm and the players are at the complete opposite end of the football field from where I was set up. I have no doubt if it had been a RAW photo at full res it would look considerably better still. However for my media work I just shoot JPG to allow for less buffering and less PP afterwards.

The annoying thing is I only bought the lens the week I shot this match and it was the final match of the season so I have to wait until end of August now to really put it through it's paces. As it is, I have been trying (and failing horribly) to get some wildlife shots to pass the time!
