This is just a stub. More, complete thoughts forthcoming after I've had a chance to really exercise the lens.

Picked up my new D FA* 70-200/2.8 from the place where the big brown trucks park at night. Just made a few test shots from the second-floor balcony.
Initial impressions? This thing is heavy! Much larger and heavier than my Sigma EX 70-200/2.8 lens. It is difficult to hand hold, compared to the Sigma. The barrel is straight and the tripod mount interferes with easy holding. The Sigma is lighter and has a more conical shape, which seems to be easier to hand hold. Comes with a very nice case. Tried a Tamron 1.4x teleconverter. Not impressed with the initial results. More to follow.
This weekend, I want to take side-by-side shots with the Sigma to compare with each other. |
