I'm impressed! For those who haven't looked at the downloaded images, they look MUCH better than the shots shown in the thread above (perhaps looking through a window). Better contrast, etc.
What would interest me is the effectiveness of the Vibration Control, in particular at 600mm handheld. With max aperture of f/6.3, slow shutter speeds may be necessary at times. As an example, with my Nikon 105VR I was able to get nearly 100% keepers at 1/30 second, which is about 1/3 of the traditional 1/Focal Length formula (that was Rockwell's finding, and I confirmed it myself). Once I learned that, I remembered it and used it. If you find, for instance, in your hands, that at 600mm and 1/250 sec, "take 3 shots in rapid fire and at least one of them is always sharp", that's a good real world thing to know.
