A new one
First posted shot with my new lens, straight out of the camera, no processing, no crop.

My new Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR arrived today.
I had waited and thought a long time about getting this lens, but really need a 400mm lens as 300mm was the longest I had and I shoot a lot at the Zoo and shots like this one.
This lens is the oldest VR = Vibration Reduction lens that Nikon makes and the only 400mm that can be used hand held.
So I went to La Jolla and gave it a try and must say I am pleased with it. Many reviews I read were very negative.
Among the complaints were that it was slow focusing, not very sharp and that it wasn't fast enough.
I wonder how many people who write about lenses actually walk around with them and try to shoot Pelicans flying by.
Oh, by the way, this isn't the best shot, I just picked it out from the thumbnails in Lightroom.
