I fancied a go at this today . . . SOOC two photos with this 300mm. Photo1 is the bottom half and photo2 is the top half. Handheld and then manually 'stitched' together in Gimp. It came out okay methinks. Download the full resolution and see if you can find the scaffolding 'stitch error' - not quite perfect lol.

Magical lens, I am patiently waiting for the right opportunity to purchase one. They hold value very well

I bought one of these last week, biggest lens I own and boy is it big!
Not sure if I can hide this from the wife!!
It’s hardly stopped raining since and I want to take it out now!!
Also bought a wimberley foot, strap and lens coat. Oh, and a rain cover!
