    3. Ducking

    Anyway just testing the new lens (on my 7D).

    Nice shots and I like #4- plenty of action. How do you like the weight of the lens at around 1500 grms?

      I didn't notice the weight on Saturday ... for one I have replaced the Canon Cheesecutter with an Op/Tech strap and two I'm use to carrying a 20kg backpack when walking. Balance with a 7D is good ... I imagine with a 1-Series it would be perfect.

        Looks like it is performing well. I particularly like the red crested pochard

          do like number three. The duckling trying to escape gave me a laugh.

            Thanks everyone. It's a cracking lens.

            Di - the ducklings had already 'escaped' ... they were trying to get back to mum on the other side. Wardens informed about the situation.

              Great set Peter - my favourite type of shots... birds.

              Really nice and sharp, and great to see all the newcomers!

              Thanks for posting. Mike.

                  Like these, and the lens looks to be the business, very crisp & clear.

                  3&5 are my pick of a good bunch.

                  Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography- George Eastman

                    Great IQ
                    I've seen some great shots taken with this lens.
                    Brilliant set of images
