I was just playing around with my two latest lens acquisitions yesterday, and ended up shooting the same subjects with each - daffodils, what else!
#1 with the 70-300VR, 300mm, f/5.6 @ 1/250:
#2 with the 12-24, 24mm, f/5 @ 1/400:
I was quite pleased with both, but especially surprised at how sharp the 70-300VR is at 300mm, hand-held.
