Columbus Day Celebration!

Congratulations, and long lenses! =D

Long ... and very heavy! :-)

Quite impressive lens Norm. Wouldn't one to try and lift this one though. Like the use of mono tone for this presentation. :)

Thanks Chris! It looked about the same in color ... just not as grainy. :-) I'm hoping to give it a workout tomorrow. The covered bridge photos were the first I took with it.

look like a great lens and very nice in b/w

Many thanks Wierd! :-)

I would celebrate if I got one of these !!!!

Many thanks! :-)

Nice! You'll get muscles lifting that one.

Many thanks Esther! :-) It's going to force me to use the tripod more!

time to celebrate and may the new member stay loooong.....

Many thanks! :-)

Looks very good and congratulations.
Congrats on Explore.

Many thanks Jaap! :-)

Wow! Don’t drop that on your foot!

Thanks Jan! :-) I'd get out the steel toed boots, but it might hurt the lens! :-)

Good grief Norm ... that's massive! :)

Thanks Paul! I'm hoping for a closer look at the cars when they are racing!

Sounds like you should get some cool photos with it too Norm ... happy hunting! :)

Yes I have one of these so I know you will enjoy it, bit on the heavy side though.

Many thanks! Yes ... heavy, but the lighter of the two!

What a great way to celebrate!!
