    A positive attitude can really make dreams come true - it did for me.

    I am stoked !!

    On Saturday I got a new Nikon 80-200mm f 2.8 and I can't believe how sharp it is.

    My first bird shot was taken hand held through the kitchen window across our decking and pool, a distance of about 12 metres. The shot is attached.

    I can't wait to get out and put the lens to good use.

    Michael and I would like to announce the arrival of a 70-200 VR 2.8 Nikkor,
    weighing in at a healthy 'damn heavy"!

    OMG, it is so fast, looking forward to using it to its full potential!
    Michael is at work so I got to have first play with it, so far only popped it on the D80 cos that was what was on the table. I can tell I'm going to build some serious muscles.
    Cheers, Lani.

    Nice piece of glass. Well done on the safe arrival. Get a monopod for it at least!

    Thanks Kym, yeah, a monopod is on the agenda, just a matter of sussing out which one.

    Truth be known I didn't really join Curves for muscles for my lense it's to get rid of the tum tum before I go to phillip Island and get back to a size I am happy with. But hey if it means I get stronger and can carry that thing around I'll be happy.

    Hey Deb,
    My wife went on a diet and joined curves and she is now an extremely happy much fitter 13 Kg lighter lady. But there is no way she can be coaxed into carrying the new 80-200mm f 2.8 lens for me.

    I hope you are happy with your new lens and look forward to seeing your shots from it.
