Ok, I hate you. I'd hate you more if it was a Nikon mount, but I still hate ya!

come on, leave away that 2x converter and the lens shade and it will be a tiny short lens ...

way too heavy for me ...

Have you got a lens tripod along with this???
And are you SURE you like this WHITE on your black camera body?
I think I'd go put black "Tesaband" all around it

 

[Big Mike]

:cheer: Both hands up

 

[terri]

I can't hate anyone who has gear that I'd never use, so nope - sorry, you're still all right in my book.

Anyway, new toys are meant to celebrate - I think that's in the Rule Book somewhere.

So congrats!

.....did it come with a sherpa? :shock:

 

[Alex_B]

it is white so the otters can see it in time to run away

That is one good, good question!

 

[Alex_B]

oh, and don't forget mirror lockup ...

just today i realised how much difference it makes on a tripod even with my white short 300mm lens ...

 

[Alison]

O.M.G. Is that a protection device should an otter decide to take you on?

 

[Alex_B]

again, the forum is very chatty ... must be the weather

I have a good tripod but will probably need a new monopod, I hear scaffolding is good

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, LOSTPROPHET?????!!!!!! (Quick, you other Reading people, has there been a bank robbery recently?? Has a rich aunt died under mysterious circumstances?)

Holy Toledo, that is one honking big lens!! I'm gonna want to see some clooooooooose-up pics pretty darn soon.

Glad to hear you plan to work out...you're gonna need it. The way you like to traipse over the countryside? Whew, what a a workout.

Congrats on the new toy...you must be thrilled to bits with it.
