New (to me) Lens Duck

Ha! Well it did not take all that much twisting of the arm to have me take the plunge and pick up a 500mm F4.0 MK1. Saw it come up over on Fred Miranda and hesitated for about an hour. Just enough for one person to get in ahead of me, but then he backed out.

So what's that got to do with birds you say??

Ta Da!

the obligatory POTN new lens duck!!

I'm still vibrating, this lens is a beast!

Be careful out there!

Well maybe the IS will help with those vibrations
Congratz on the new lens.

Thanks people.

I'm thrilled to get it, most of the shore birds have migrated from here but still some around. I will have lots of time to practice before the spring migration!

nice ones John.. congrats on the new lens
