Well, just aquired a Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8 VR I. Looks like it's going to make an excellent replacement for the Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 HSM I that I was shooting with, the image quality is really oustanding by comparison.

Since the first picture I ever took after going digital was a Gorilla, well, figured that should be the first shot with the new lens as well:

Also wandered by the tiger cubs to see what they were up too:

Nice new toy! Did you want me to move this to the 'Post a picture of yourself' thread?
 
Congrats on the new lens! The tiger cubs were posing for you again.
 
Very happy with the upgrade, seriously considered the VRII but for what I do a good, used VRI just made more sense.

I'm picking up the same lens tomorrow morning. A local photographer was selling it on Craigslist. Not sure how well I'm going to sleep tonight!
 
I have always like the Nikon versions better than the Sigma versions of lenses, there is a reason they cost more, they are worth more.
I tried a couple Sigmas and ended up selling them and replacing with the Nikon version so I have stopped buying third party knock off (counterfeit) equipment. By that I mean not actual Nikon made gear.

Thanks Cheryl, went back this weekend and got some shots of them playing outside. Had a great time.

Absolutely love mine, wish I would have upgraded quite some time ago. The image quality is just first rate.
