Thats good news but you should be prepared for the extra bulk and weight of
it over say a 300 f4.5FA. I haven't shot with the Tamron but it is defimitely
not as hand-holdable as
I had the M 300 4.0, i.e., no tripod mount on the lens. I just
couldn't get much use out of it and sold it. At minimum, you would
need to buy some kind of cradle to use a tripod for best results.

Most of my aircraft in flight shots were taken with my F 100 - 300 hand held.
Those of you who know me know that I have very shaky hands. Sometimes, I hang

free to swing if I want to go to portrait orientation.
Oddly, I could use my old 100-300 hand held. I was just never pleased
with the results of the 300 f4.

A bit of an exaggeration.
This wouldn't be good enough for a 30x20 print, but it does OK:

The cosmetics on that Tokina look amazingly like my TX interchangeable
mount Vivitar 400mm f5.6. Not a bad lens though I doubt that they share
much in the way of optics. Tokina made a lot of internal changes during
the years it was produced.

It really is a full frame lens though, without aperture ring it

Jens - I have had the 300mm f4.5 FA for the last 13 years IIRC, and I highly
recommend it. The major rap against it is the lack of tripod collar, but
I've found it to be a non issue. Its easy to hand hold IMO.
I've used it in all sorts of weather, from below freezing to around 100
