Very nice! It seems to me also very sharp :thumbs:
Does it focus fast?
I should receive the 70-300is tomorrow morning, thanx to warehouseexpress, after waiting about 2 months, looking forward to try it :)

Well.. it's not my shot. The seller took it this morning and is going to be posting to me within the next couple of days.

Apparently, it's fast though :)

Any idea what the settings were , ie 70 - 300mm & aperture ??

[Amnesia180]

No, sorry.

Its not a bad lens - I have been pretty damned pleased with mine.

Like all zooms though it performs best in the middle of the range, 100-200 its not bad at all... but going up to nearer 300 you obviously loose both f stops and at the hard end of 300mm it doesn't like it much (see my airshow pics for what I mean).

Still, for the relatively small price, I don't think you could get better for less than 500 quid.

Where can I find your airshow pics? And would you like to explain what you mean just incase I don't get it lol :P

Only the first pic was from the 70-300mm

Look at the closeup of the B17...
