I decided to buy one of these lenses and it arrived this morning. I gave it a quick test during my break for lunch. Here's one of the first shots (no extra sharpening applied). Hand held at about 1/1250th sec, f5.6. This lens is much easier to handle than the Nikkor 180mm f2.8. At an effective focal length of 600mm, I'm expecting it will be sharper on a tripod....but I'm impressed with it thus far.Still looking for my non-AI 300mm f4. I'm about ready to give up and buy one of the excellent 300mm f4.5 ED IF AIS lenses that can be had for a few hundred dollars now.
