i am interested in this lens, what kind of shape is it in and how sharp do you find the pictures. Have you used it on photographing birds and did you find the auto focus quick? Any more info you could give me would help. By the way I'm in Ottawa.

Hi David
The lens is in very good shape. I haveonly used it on birds and I found the autofocus fast. I am at work now, but will post some pictures I took this evening and you can see how sharp it is. Its' a fairly light weight lens and easily hand held (Although a tripod would give better results)
Thanks

Hey thanks for getting back to this thread.

How would the lens do at shooting the moon.

I have read different reviews on it.

Would really like your opinion on it.

Also I saw a couple of examples of it with the duck shots.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I dont really take pictures of the moon, but here are a couple I took a while ago, hand held. I am sure they would be better using a tripod.

Hi Doug,

Yes you can send him a Nikonians e-mail.
Both of you are Silver members.
What I do normally is send the e-mail, then
in the I Want To Sell... forum, mention that
you have sent he/her the e-mail.
As far as I know, the only way a member can
see if he/she has a Nikonian e-mail, is to
check their My User Menu, then the e-mail tab.
Hope this helps.
Terry.
