First Day with new 300mm f4

[rwm1300n]

Well.....after lusting (and saving) for quite some time, I received my 300mm f4, gently used, lens from cafe member Durgesh yesterday. Since it was rainy here today I went over the border to the Bird Kingdom Aviary in Niagara Falls, Ontario to try it out.

I have to say, I think I'm going to like this baby.... a LOT! Thanks Durgesh

Very nice. You will love that lens. I've had mine for about two years and can tell you it is a real price/performance bargin. BTW wait till you have to decided between the TCE1.4 & 1.7 - hard choice (actually I couldn't make up my mind so I got both. If I had to make a choice it would be the 1.4).

Good shooting with your new lens.

Welcome to the 300mm f/4 club.
Beautiful shots. Can ask for more sharpness than that.

 

[Frits]

Stellar, WOW!!

 

[spruce]

Awesome, I too am hoping to pick up a 300 f/4 this year.

 

[CrystallP]

Wow!!! I'm impressed and inspired! Thanks!!

Man it's a good thing I don't shoot birds or my LL would be off the hook right now. These are truly stunning!!

 

[dlee79]

Great shots! Great lens!

 

[Julien]

That last one is just spectacular , really

 

[rwm1300n]

Appreciate all the nice comments. This lens will be a lot of fun to use. I have a Kenko 1.4 300 Pro DG which, as I understand, is a good match to the 300mm f4.

Unfortunately, today's forecast is for snow and 30 mph wind gusts.:frown:

Can't wait for spring (to really arrive).

 

[weiran]

It looks like one of the sharpest Nikkors around. It's on the list .

 

[Gale]

Gee you got a bad copy better send it to me right away......rofl

Superb...Images

Quite the lens isn't it:>))))

 

[Uncle Frank]

Sheesh, I can count pin feathers on those shots. Compliments.

That's quite a step up from the long end of your 70-300mm G! Which version is it? AF-S or camera drive?

I'd love to have one, but I don't think I'd get enough use out of it. So my best approach is to borrow Philippes ;-).

 

[rwm1300n]

Frank,

This is the AF-S version. You're right. There is no comparison to my 70-300G. Might as well sell it.... don't expect it will get much use now.

Wow,
really sharp shots! I guess the second subject really needs an urgent face lifting...

 

[plaifatt]

I would love to have this lens but I suspect it will have VR II soon so I'm waiting a bit.
Those are all great, sharp, well exposed shots.

 

[lisantica]

I just bought one of these, should have it Thursday, can't wait! :biggrin:

I have the AFS 300/4. Just love it. Can't beat sharpness and contrast. Enjoy, you are in for alot of joy.
