So my shiny new lens arrived this morning and 1st impressions were
This is the biggest and heaviest lens I have had (and it really is quite heavy TBH)
Anyway without further ado and bearing in mind my previous posts showing the same 'sample' photo I took a couple of snaps at 300mm with a 100% crop (mainly so Andy can take a look
) I will get round to some 400mm and shorter lengths a/when the weather brightens up and b/ when I have a few more mins spare!!!
300mm Full version here:

300mm 100% crop (which I have to say I think it pretty damn good compared to my old Nikon 70-300 VR)

And as a 3 way comparison I have included below the same shots from a Nikon 70-300vr and Tamron 28-300IS
Here are some sample images:
300mm Tamron 28-30 Crop @ 100%
300mm Nikon 70-300 crop @ 100%
