[JamesT]

Very useful lens -- I think I use mine more than all the rest combined.

[Ryewolf]

I have the same lens and I've found it really good.

[colinb]

Nice - I fancy one of those myself (nikon fit obviously) looking forward to seeing the pictures.

[kev7d]

How heavy is it Roger?  

[Rogerw]

2860 g not to bad to hold free hand   works super fine .

[kev7d]

That's not bad. It looks good on your 7d.

NEARLY THREE KILOS???? You HAVE to be kidding... I'd be knackered before I left the house.

[Rogerw]

Well you need to come to my Gym Chris build those biceps  up heheheheeh

[kev7d]

I would really like something like this. Granted, it's not something that I would want to carry on a 10 mile walk.  

[Rogerw]

Very true Kev, I have the Nikon for those long walks , but thought this would be good , for Hide work.

[Phil]

That's a brute of a lens, I'm sure you'll get a lot of use from it given your interest in wildlife.

[FUJI]

WOW!

Just looked it up........ spent all your Christmas pocket money early eh?

I recall biting the bullet to acquire my GX7 .....to raise most of the dosh required I sold every pre 1935 silver coin plus a half sovriegn ( except for my Roman, Medieval and other specials) found with my metal detectors over 20 years.

I was more than delighted when my local jewellers gave me well over £700.......it had been well worth all those years of trudging muddy fields and beaches for.

The big bonus was that the detecting hobby gave me ampleased exercise, a sense of history, and eventually led directly into photography.

I wish you many happy years with this and all your other gear.

[Rogerw]

Didn't know you were a budding numismatist Fuji?

Roger, I have no wish to carry around a lens that size, biceps or no! But may it bring you much pleasure.

[Kobione]

Enjoy your new toy, Roger - look forward to seeing your results.
