I know how you feel mate, I was sure I was commited to the 135-400, But, you never know when you may need that extra 100mm eh?
Well the lens arrived this lunchtime, only ordered yesterday morning!
What can I say, it's built like a tank (I wont be handholding it thats for sure), the weather is very overcast this afternoon but I have been in the garden doing some test shots and it autofocuses like lightning, does'nt seem to hunt even in the aforementioned overcast conditions. The wife has got the car at work at the moment so I cant go and try and get pics of the GSW family, knowing my luck he will have left the nest today, but will keep my fingers crossed that the family will still be in situ tomorrow morning. I think this lens is going to be a lot of fun once we get used to it's use, I've never used a lens this big or heavy so I'm expecting teething troubles during the learning process, but that's the great thing about shooting digital, "film" costs nowt! Heading up to Northumberland in just over a week for a few days, Farne, St Mary's and anywhere else that may produce a good days birding, hopefully we will have the swing of the Bigma by then.
