Nice shots!

Holy smokes!! Even on my crappy at-work monitor, these look top-notch...tip top, in fact.

That is one sweet, sharp lens.

Congrats once again

Awesome shots !

Congrats on an awesome lens!

beautiful shots with a beautiful lens. From my understanding it comes with a 52mm drop in filter holder.If you don't mind me asking do you use a polarizer with the lense or not.

Omigosh!!

Great shots! Detail is fabulous!! Now how can I explain this need to the wife!!! Thanks for sharing. Any lens that can make a pigeon ( sky rat ) look good is great.....of course the skills of the person holding the lens helps!!

Woo hoo! Drool!

Detail Duck Award nomination methinks.

Get to a sports sideline somewhere ASAP!

Dante, do I detect a hot pixel or two on your sensor? Not to worry, it might be a lens aberation. You better send it to me right away. I'll perform a battery of tests on that lens, the likes of which have never been done before. And 'cause I like you, I ain't talking no rush job either. I'll get it back to you in a year or two. Okay? I'll even pay the return shipping.

Just ducky.

Dante,

did you apply any USM to the shots?

Congrats Dante

Dan

Wow!!!

Wonderful duck...I may have to reconsider stopping at 200MM in my collection

They look sweet - the 300/2.8 is top-notch, and yours is in good hands.

Thanks Guys. Lens is fantastic.

There is a drop in polarizer. I dont have this yet. Need to get one.

I am not nearly half as skilled as most on this site. I just shoot 1000 frames and these were the 3 that were in focus.

I add a little usm to all my shots 100,.3,0 as my sensor really demands it when shooting raw. If anyone is interested I could post come un usm shots later.

I see some CA on the bird.

Nice shots.

ROFL...

Dante - I think you need to be elevated from a lens collector to an artist. The message is loud and clear... and the masses are affected by it.

There was one famous photog who did a gallery photographing random household objects to make viewers ask: "what is the purpose of more photographs, in a world already saturated with pictures?"
