Looks like it is doing well and like you are going to have plenty of fun with it. Aren't the Wood ducks just brilliant! I love them.
Nice images Diane, beautiful birds.
Congratulations on the new lens ... and good on you for keeping off auto. It sometimes feels as it it would be easier just to flick that switch ... but then you'll never make those mistakes and, as a result, you'll never learn and improve. So, go for it. And keep enjoying the lens.
Looks like You got used to it pretty quickly . Great shots I think your gonna like that lens! For me thats one of the best Canada Goose flight shots Ive seen.
Nicely done Diane, love those birds and great captures, i think you will love that lens.
Thank you all I really can't wait to really put it to the test.
Good stuff, you've got great control.
