Lubing my new glass?

[BuddhaPi]

as a dsiplay it should have been cheaper than B&H regardless if it was on display 1 day or 1 month, disply =used as least in my book, return it for a full refund and do more research..

They didnt have any more in stock. They might by now though,...and if they have the Sigma, I may look at it instead. The issues that it has, are not really that big a concern. That's what manual focus and all that jazz is for. But still, I may just return this one, and buy one from B&H.

The stifness will be more of a hassle than a good thing. Especially when focusing manually. If you are looking for a 300 mm zoom have you considered the nikon 55-300 4.5-5.6 vr ? I don't know anything about this lens personally, but the price may be comparable.
