This shot is actually an 840mm as I also used a 1.4x teleconverter. 35mm equiv. is 1260mm.

Excellent tryout. That lens appears to be sharp.

That's good! I had that lens and could never get results like that with it, and it always produced low contrast images. At a fixed aperture of f8 a lot of light is needed to focus, but you've done very well with it!

I read that there are two versions of this lens; a 95mm and one that was 85mm. The 95 was supposed to be the best, and that's the one I have. Thanks for your reply.
