Hey Linth:

FedEx just delivered my 600mm telephoto lens. Wow, this baby is BIG! Nearly 13 pounds.

Here is the first shot I took with it, at ISO 1000 and wide open at f/4. I had to move to the other side of the kitchen to get it to focus. And I can see it would be a job to find and track a moving target.

Considering it is about to rain and is very dark outside, I am pleased with it. Can't wait till when the sky is brighter so I can lower the ISO and close the f stop a bit.
