The inevitable “lens test” shots

Yes a new to me lens arrived in the post this week and I hadn’t used it until today. A rather nice Nikkor 70-200 VRII ƒ2.8 which is far larger than I had imagined and will require a whole new understanding of camera holding technique to get the best out of it.

So here’s the usual “lens test” shots which I so often chastise others for. At least they’re not entitled lens test 1 etc. Shame the sky is so overcast today as the extra reach at 200mm is great for Shard shots from our bedroom. And even wide open at ƒ2.8 at 200mm it’s still plenty sharp enough. Sharp enough for me to get rid of my 85mm prime I reckon.
