Thanks. I saw in the thread where you said that you thought the black collar ring actually looks better in your opinion.

Bluedog: do you mind posting a PIC of your 70-200 with the black colar? Just curious on how it looks.

Thanks

Yes, thanks for the post of that photo Bluedog. It looks a lot better than what I thought. I believe I will save the $35 and get the black collar ring.

OK... I got my helping of yummy goodness today. This is not a great shot. I just cannot get the right light in my basement. I kept blowing out portions of the lens.

It was dark when I got home as it will be the next couple of days. I hope to be able to get some shots with it this weekend.

Is this lens used for macro shot or telephoto zoom? according to the test image of the butterfly, this lens seem to be designed for marco shot.

Its made to be a telephoto zoom but at around 3' minimum focusing distance using it at 200mm will render a small subject pretty nicely.

this image of the lens shows it is huge. does it actually this big? Can the user hold it with barehands for sport shooting?

The lens is not bad at all. It is only weights about 1.5 pounds. I put it on the camera tonight to get my first real shots. I shot a few indoors. It was low light, but I got a few good shots indoors. I am going to try and get some good ones tomorrow outside. It was just too cold today at 38F (3.3 C). Brrrr!

The attached photos are some that I took tonight. My wife and son were playing with our dog. In the first photo, my son has a fabric "bone" that the dog chews on. He was twirling it around and she was snapping at it. I think it came out pretty good with the blur on the "bone", yet his head and left side are pretty much in focus.
