OH it is sorta heavy, but what can you expect. The build quality feels excellent.

the shots look very promising! Backround blur is fun with this length/apeture kinda lens.

Congrats deapee with your new glass and sure it is a great one. It is almost possible to win a ribbon with it!

heh...thanks.

Heck, I won a ribbon with the Canon EF 75-300 f/4-5.6.

I'm so stoked to head out with this thing. There sure isn't going to be anything remote related to 'inconspicuous' while walking around with this thing.

It's neat how everything's internal -- the lens doesn't go in/out as you zoom, and nothing moves outside as you focus.

Nice...

But in that photo there appears to be something wrong with the lens, there is a huge hole down the center of it! :-).

I assume you'll have the same loving relationship with this as us Canon folks have with our 70-200 F/2.8's...

Cheers, Me.
