It looks promising. I need a day at Freo this weekend to test it's metal.

Nice set. I've just purchased a 77mm & a 43mm and look forward to putting them to good use.

It's metal all right.

But if you want to test its mettle, try some portraits in natural light.

Well picked up George. It was rather bright yesterday but I needed to see if all was OK. Weather permitting, Saturday or Sunday will see a whole range of shots.

Is it me or my new 77mm but when I take shots they and load into lightroom they seem very dark, almost like I'd underexposed by like 2/3 steps. Look ok when you start making adjustments but just quite dark at first.

Enjoy your new lens. Looks like an interesting focal length for this type of photography.
Best wishes,
