Re: A Couple from Today

Eric just had it a couple of days and all shots have been taken on a gimble thus far.

It is a big lens, 3kg compared to 2kg for the 150-450.  I've noted that OOF highlight areas can produce CA, maybe that's why it comes with a circular polarizer as well as a clear filter?  Out of sunlight it does not seem to matter. It is beautifully built.

I did try a few HH shots and you do know you've got it. From testing so far it's IQ exceeds both the DA*300 and DFA150-450 when you crop them to get the same size image.

I really can't pick between the latter 2 at 300.

First thoughts only.
