I'm looking forward to some samples as well.

I got the ok from the boss to order one but not sure I want a large heavy lens again. Decisions, decisions.

Think positive. By buying this lens, it's like getting a gym membership for free.

Bahh! it's certainly not worst (in term of handling) than the FA*250-600mm and a good sturdy tripod... I did not needed a gym membership... so far...

Seems like this thread has no interest ... maybe it is because it was moved to "Lens Club", a section of this forum not often visited and not showing under the latest posts/threads section(s).

Personally, I have no images to post because .... I still don't have that lens.
However, I thought that those who do own the lens already would be keen on posting here.

Hopefully will have some shots this weekend to post! My lens just got delivered and is waiting at home for me.

If someone has also the bigma 50-500 I would like to see how these lenses compare at the long end not only at picture quality, but also what's their difference in magnification! It is said that the bigma is not reaching 500mm but actually is quite shorter, so this comparison would be very interesting!

A few shots from Tuesday. The light was not very good because it was an overcast day. I had to use fairly high ISO most of the time. All shots are handheld. Most of them are cropped to some extent.

150mm, F/8, 1/400s, ISO100 (the amount of detail in the forest below the tower is amazing in the original file)

450mm, F/8, 1/1000s, ISO500

450mm, F/6.3, 1/800s, ISO 2000

150mm, F/6.3, 1/250, ISO 400

This one is with the 1.4x TC (handheld)
630mm, F/10, 1/1000s, ISO 640

450mm, F/6.3, 1/1000s, ISO 800

290mm, F/6.3, 1/800s, ISO 800

380mm, F/6.3, 1/800s, ISO 5000

450mm, F/6.3, 1/800s, ISO 5000

450mm, F/6.3, 1/400s, ISO 2000
