I Got a New Lens!!

Well, new to me at least!
It is actually a used Nikon AFS VR 70-200 2.8G. It has a three year warranty and I bought it a reputable camera store so I feel pretty good about it.
I never thought I would ever own this particular lens because it is so expensive and was willing to settle for the same lens in Sigma, which also has good ratings, a better price, but is really heavy.
But, was able to pick this one up for less than the price of a new Sigma!

Beautiful capture, enjoy your new lens.

Looks like you got a good one. Love those sharp details and the b&w is so beautifully contrasted.

Love this, soft and sharp. Congrats on the new toy- used is often a great way to go.

Marvelous black and white!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wow something tells me you are going to love this new toy - well done!

[Nick]

Fab shot.
A lens like yours is on my dream list but way too expensive (even the alternatives) 🙁 Along with a few others I might add, so looks like I’m stuck with my kit kens!

Yay! So happy for you and what a terrific shot you have taken with it!

@jacqbb @graemestevens @ludwigsdiana @shutterbug49 @joysabin @marlboromaam @koalagardens @nickspicsnz @grammyn @kjarn We all commented on my photo, there is something wrong, it is Wendy @farmreporter's photo ;-)

[Kathy A]

I'm confused. I commented on the squirrel photo above that is labelled as Wendys photo.

[Clare Gadsby]

wonderful, wendy. a new lens is a fine thing! i've bought a couple of used ones, which have been like new, but much cheaper :)

@kjarn
I titled both my Darkroom and my main project shots with the same title ... so proud of my new lens that I absolutely had to shout out the news! lol!!
I'm not sure what happened with the commenting like everyone says in the comment above. So weird!

Well you have taken a wonderful shot with your new lens. Happy shooting!

[Heather (pixelchix)]

Congrats on your new lens! That’s a wonderful bit of kit you have there, and what a great squirrel shot to test it out.
