Oh Happy Days , it arrived on my doorstep this morning overnight from banana land

First impressions ..... It's humongous, and as expected, weighty, but I think the odd hand-held shot is a possibility. Oh, and it's a very high quality Pro grade lens.

It's still blowing a gale here so testing it outside is not a sensible option as anything in a tree is moving a metre or more side to side, and the wind is strong enough to cause vibration when using a tripod.

My first shot will be a test for auto focus accuracy, with adjustments if necessary. Dunno whether to use the dock or do it in-camera.
