It's absolutely dismal outside right now. Raining and windy. So I'll wait until better light.

Nothing earthshattering right now, just some SOOC from when I was at store picking it up.








And a few while sitting at red lights. Again, SOOC, only resized for posting.

Thanks for sharing the images. Looks great to me @ 600mm. Very sharp for my need! Can't wait for my copy.

Test shots look promising. Would like to see some wildlife shot with it though. I'll have my chance on Monday if weather is good.

I'm really looking forward to reports on the AF-C performance of this lens with modern Nikon bodies. Where's Trenchmonkey and his birds?

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.
