Finally got some sun and a chance to use ISO200 on this beast.
I took a few of these this morning when sun was pretty good, and some later in the day when a few clouds and some shade made me lower the shutter speed.
Focusing is a chore, so if you aren't shooting a stationary object or not set up in a blind and keyed in on a particular area the lens is a PITA to focus. If you will notice I did a better job focusing on some images than others.
All images were shot at ISO 200 and are Jpegs right out of the camera, only thing I did was to max out the contrast and shapness in camera with no other PP or cropping done at all.
