Guessing Game

The following shot was taken on New Years Eve from my balcony in Neutral Bay - the fireworks would been a couple of kilometres away. Shot at f/8 0.6 secs at 200mm on the D70. There has been no PP on the original RAW image other than to resize and save as a jpeg (it’s Adobe RGB1998 or II).
Basically I want to get impressions of the quality of the shot from forum members and then I will say what lens it was

Hard to judge on that photo Chris, no straight lines and a lot seemed to happen in that .6 sec, judging by trails left etc
Someone with more knowledge may have a better guess

Chris,
Nothing altogether too sharp here, probably due mostly to the subject movement.

If I knew what FL was I would be halfway to guessing myself

Chris having shot fireworks regularly let me first of all say that the shots are not too bad at all. Secondly I need to ask whether or not there has been any cropping?

No cropping at all - and it is not the Nikon

This lens is not in the class of Nikon 70-200 by a long shot. But, in saying that, I was quite please considering the distance and the exposure. With a little PP including USM it is very acceptable. Plus it was a couple of k’s away.
The lens is: the Sigma 55-200mm DC - as soon as I can afford the 70-200VR, and it is available again, this lens will be replaced.
