In case some one out there has not decided to buy this lens yet :) :)

All pictures are shot handheld.
I know that there are some "burnout" on the pictures but I think they are OK to share with you.

Very nice Fleming. Are D70 cameras expensive in Denmark? I spent a couple of months there and noted prices were quite high on most consumer items.

Wow...

I think it is more than just the lens that made this shot!
Great work...

Yes they are expensive. The price now is arround 1800,- USD with the 18-70 kit lens.
I bought my camera in Denmark because of the guarantee, but the VR70-200 I bought in USA. (Adorama)

Hi d70,

gratulations to the photos of the swans in flight.
They are very cool.
I believe I've seen these photos on dpreview.
What focussing method did you use ?

Cheers

Great shots Flemming. But I guess the swan is new to flying - it's dipping its wings into the water each time. ;)

Hi d70, nice shots even with the burnout bits, it's a hassle sometimes when that happens but thems the brakes. Nice pics though and thanks for sharing.
