I love the squirrel and the eagle, nice shots and wow it's sharp!
Yeah Bill, I was very happy with the resolution of the lens - It is only a hair behind the 300 f4 at that focal length, and the zoom range is incredibly useful. The AF is fast, but a little noisey, which I was a little disappointed with. I was afraid it was just my copy, but I ask around and it seems that it's just how this lens is.
All great shots Billy. Sharp and perfectly timed. The wings just seem to be at the exact right place on each bird shot. Were you using continuous high rate, or did you just capture it right?
For the noisy focus, you know you can still manually focus these lenses do you?
Here is one a bit before sunrise at ISO 9000, pretty impressive low light capabilities. I remember when the fastest film you could get was 3200 b&w, and it was super grainy...
Great shots, now I am tempted once again to look at replacing my old 80-400.

The 80-400VRG is outstanding on the D4 mind blowing on the D800( at least on mine)
Ah Glenn, you have a very nice list of equipment thereI am moderately jealous, just slightly on the D4.

Few years back we visited my brother in-law in Kalispell and we saw some eagles like that. Seems it was right around Glacier National Park.
