My First test for the Oly 75-300. Space Shuttle on the Hudson River!

I just took a few pictures of the Space Shuttle Enterprise on the Hudson River using the Zuiko 75-300. First test of this lens.

I was on my building's terrace (10th floors above ground). I used a little Gorillapod to help me to stabilize the camera, but the IBIS was incredibly helpful when I was framing the shots.

If you check the pictures at the original size, you can see the damaged wingtip. It was painted black for the occasion.

I can't talk about the sharpness at 300 and 200 yet. I will need some time to compare the shots. I just got this lens less than a week ago. I am glad I had such a wonderful subject to test the 75-300.

New York is awesome sometimes.
