New (to me) 100-300mm lens

I just received a Minolta 100-300mm f4.5 (32) -5.6 lens. A butterfly was kind enough to pose in the backyard.

I think I am going to like this lens, more later

Hello Everyone,

Yes, I do really like this lens. Great when the Beercan is a little too short.

Nice. I am glad you are enjoying it! I wish the pictures were a little bigger in the post though.

I agree, something new at ImageShack, posting thumbnails. I think I am going to move to Flicker.

Clicking on the thumbnail will take you to the image, but that is kind of a pain.
