Was loaned a copy by FoCal back in 2013 and made my way up into Wales.
Threw a 2x tele on it and was able to capture these shots. My main gripe about the lens is when hand holding it's not easy because of the reverse of the focus ring and the zoom to adjust the focal length when something is moving toward you. I just picked a focal length and shot at that as the jets came around the corner..

Thanks, not too bad - I'm just glad I didn't slip off the little rocky outcrop I was standing on
