I've been waiting for months for this and today I found box on front door step when I came home from work. I am including first photo's with new lens right out of the box (no PP except convert from raw to jpeg). Ordered from C&H Photo in La Jolla, California. Using Nikon D800E on tripod. The Scrub Jay in my backyard at 7:30pm was very cooperative.

Were these shot at 600mm? What aperture and shutter speed did you use? Did you need to fine tune auto focus?

According to the EXIF (for the first shot anyway):

Lens: 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Shot at 600 mm
Exposure: Auto exposure, Aperture-priority AE, 1/500 sec, f/8, ISO 800

Thanks', mine is coming from B&H at the end of this month. Did you need to do a auto-focus fine tune, or were you able to shoot it on your D800e out of the box?

Out of box for now. I have the usb dock and will play with that later. That first shot was using AF.
