Very nice photos !! Looks like that lens is a nice performer. Very sharp images.

I like the "Female Redwinged Black Bird" the most.
I'm after 400mm 5.6 prime my self and I'm interested how this lens performs.

Thanks for the replies all!

Matjazz: Performance of the lens is really good so far. It does have some CA/purple fringing in high contrast areas but right now that's the only drawback I can find.

It is incredibly light and easy to use, the red-winged blackbird photos where taken near dusk and I used one of those hiking poles that doubles as a monopod (not the stiffest thing in the world).

Hope that helps
John

Great shots John, wish I had a talent for birds. Looks like a really nice lens.

Thanks for commenting NA. The challenge of finding them and actually getting a somewhat decent shot is a lot of fun
