Well thanks to a bit of impulse buying when I saw that Peter (Postcardcv) was selling this lens, and it coincided with cashing in a savings plan, so now the saving are now gone
Having met up with Peter today, I was disappointed that it was pouring with rain this afternoon, so when the sky cleared and the sun came out this evening I just had to grab my gear and rush down to the local park in the fading light shooting at ISO 800 & f4 using a mono-pod. Not very inspiring subject matter, but image quality is just stunning
Very different to use to my Canon 70-300 IS so a new learning curve there. Will be looking for some sports action opportunities at the weekend
