Cheers Dave.I thought long and hard about getting this lens.I am still not sure if the quality will better the the 300AFS F4. Time will tell, I still have a fair bit to learn.One thing though, It`s built like a Tank !

Unusual viewpoint - excellent quality - stunning lens - bad back on the horizon - but you won't give this lens up!
