Well I picked it up this morning from the UPS Luton dept, as no-one was here when they tried to deliver yesterday.
First impressions?
Its HUGE and VERY VERY heavy! Feels great though. The HSM motor is so quiet you cannot hear it.
Due to low light levels around today, I have been mostly shooting wide open.
This is one of my first pics:
D70, 300mm, f2.8, 1/200, ISO 400
Its not the greatest pic ever, as the focal point should have been a bitfurther back. ALso the noise reduction has reduced the sharpness very slightly IMO. (Processed using RSP).
Overall, I htink I'm happy so far. Now to find a motorsport event to go to. There isnt many this time of year!
