The lens has finally arrived and the missing parcel issue is now resolved

Stupid Australia Post ended up confusing my suburb with another :S

Thanks all for the help and support. Will post pics up eventually

On first go, it's a heavy, heavy mofo of a lens.

I never caught the first post, what lens is it?

I'm glad it arrive all in once piece Wayne, must of been a bit of an anxious wait thanks to Aussie Post.

bet it aint as heavy as that 600 f4 I was playing with on the weekend though!
my arms still know about it.

wonder what lens it is?

If you want the back history on the lens and the Aussie Post dramas.

Great new, Wayne. Congratulations! Looking forward for the pics. Get your jym membership and work out to be able to hold that one steady...

Had a few test shots and all seems nice and sharp.

No need for gym membership - daily regime to build up muscles will be to do about 5 sets with the lens

Have uploaded a test shot - but due to jpeg conversion, it's made the image soft :S

Raw file is tack sharp at 2.8 with a nice bokeh

I had a look at a few threads and I cant find what lens it is.

Same here

Well from the Exif its atleast 2.8 and covers 300mm.

Could be a 300mm/ 2.8 ?

There's also some other possibilites I guess.....

aHHHHH

well cool I guess that would explain the heavy lens then.

I'm not 100% sure, but I reckon it's a good guess and yes it would be heavy.

Guess again

I wish I had the $$$ for a 300mm f2.8...then again, wish I had a use for a lens that size

Nay my fellow peers, the correct answer is 80-200 f2.8 AF-D One touch, but it's still good
