I bought one yesterday. Makes the 55-200 look tiny . Its quite nice to be using stabilization again. The last time was when I had my Conan S3 about 18 months ago. The shot below was taken about 9.15 tonight with overcast sky with the lens on my D300. Settings were 300mm,ISO 3200,Low NR,f9,1/50 sec and sharpened a bit. It hasn't turned out tooo bad has it?.
