As always.. can't resist the temptation...

Yup.. I am a proud owner of the above lens.

Here is some pics of the actual lens... performance wise is subject to testing...

Going out to shoot tomorrow, so will post some images.

for its price, I find getting the sigma or the 200mm prime a lot more worthwhile.

Actually, I got this lens at a very very special price... That's why I got it.. hehehe.. sorry, won't disclose the purchase price, but its about dealer's cost price + $10.

Anyway, will go out later to take photos.

Agetan: Congrats on your new purchase, it is a fine lens! Beautifully built, IMO even nicer than Canon's famous white 70-200L IS.

Hi...

here is 2 photos...

haven't got time to process the rest... having using it for few hours today... I love it more than 80-200 f2.8 APO G HS... It is more responsive, and it makes my mirror slap sounds louder.. cos this lens doesn't make any noise at all...

Focusing seems to be a tad faster than older version.

But if you already have the white HS version... I guess its not a big deal about this lens. But there are quite a bit of improvement.

Is it worth it? I think so...


Regards,

Hart

I had the AF 80-200/2.8 G lens, sold off now waiting to get this lens. Still deciding as the $$ can get me Sigma 70-200 EX DG + 10-20 EX DC + 18-50 EX DC lenses. Anyway enjoy your lens.
