I rented this lens from Kevin at www.rentcameragear.com (external link) and have to say the quality is as if the lens came right off the shelf. The service is outstanding, The prices are great, and shipping is very simple with premade return labels. These are some shots from the other day playin around shooting some wood ducks which are very skittish waterfowl. The 400mmm was able to let me be far enough away but yet fill the frame and keep detail and a sharp image. C&C welcome.

The first duck is awesome. But like I told you in the email, Im not responsible if you buy this lens. You cant blame me. I provide the rental service, I dont take blame for possible empty pockets after the equipment is returned. lol.
