This was my first trip using this lens. I think although it is heavy, it is the perfect lens for Zoos and parks. Very sharp at all focal lengths. Here is a few samples.
90mm

Wade,

Excellent set of shots! I especially like the shot of the lion for the composition.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Mark, I meant to crop a few of them but I got lazy

Hi Wade,

It's hard not to like this lens because of its versatile range. The IS on the 28-300mm is very good, much better than the 100-400mm IS. Like you said it is a great lens to carry for things like the Zoo or when when you only have room for one lens. I use my 100-400 more because of the reach but really enjoy the 28-300. You got some great shots with it. The 28mm shot and the 300mm shot show its potential at both ends.

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I had the 100-400 and traded it for this lens but I really did like it also. I cant decide if I should get the 100-400 again or maybe a 400 5.8. The IS is a really great feature.
