I got one of these in black a while back, but just stuck it on a shelf and didnt use it. This past weekend weather turned out pretty good and we decided to visit our local zoo. And I thought it would give me a chance to finally try it out. I used it on RD1S. Pretty challenging task - short RF base for such a lens, no framelines, slow-long focus throw. Seems like a losing proposition. While I did have about 30% of pics that were way off - I need more practice for sure, - I did end up with a several that I like (not all in perfect focus, but I like them anyway). Afterall - its a great lens that doesnt cost all that much, not too heavy or large (well, long-ish) and has pretty pleasant signature:

Nice timing. I have a very Canon 135mm 3.5 on the way. I don't have a specific use for it, but the seller was asking a fair price, the lense looked pristine and the seller was from around where I grew up.
I need to get my Canon P fixed for the framelines, as I can't imagine how much I'd botch shooting a lens that long without some help. I frame tight and would end up missing most shots.

Woah! This looks like one of those pictures taken by DSLR with those big kick ass telephone lens. Great one!

that is my favourit also: the backgrounds does it for me: the color of the sky together with the feel given by the clouds looks as if it was taken in a photostudio with the customer patiently waiting for his portrait

Well, funny enough it was taken inside. They have things decorated as if it was in a wild, but birds are much closer and eniroment looks sort of "real".
