Testing my new lens

My lovely wife gave me an early holiday/birthday present: A new lens! It is a 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 lens. It is HUGE compared to my other glass, but it might have already become my favorite. It is fast focusing, and bright, which will fill a major hole in my shooting ability. I’m looking forward to many more shots with it. For now, here are some samples from my testing:
