Great lens for my needs. Focus is fast and it does focus on the lower level camera bodies.  I went with the Sigma due to the various reviews about focus speed compared to Tamron. It sounded like Tamron's version was a tad bit slower on focusing. Of course, we can probably all agree neither come close to matching Nikon's 70-200 2.8 VR. I've used one a few times and it's one of the finest lenses Nikon has produced in my opinion. Depending on your price range and what you will be using the lens for, you won't lack for options. Either way, it's always nice to have a 70-200 or 80-200 f/2.8 lens.</blockquote>
