[QUOTE="stmv, post: 95870, member: 10038"] Sweet, I have been looking for a long reach zoom, my 80-200 2.8 runs out of steam, and my old 300 mm lens have never really been that great, so, I just won a 80-400 VR for under 700 dollars! I am so excited, to try this lens, I ordered an Kirk Lens Collar based on my research, on my D7000, this will be a 600 MM! Most likely, I'll use the 7000 for this lens because I really want the reach. Migrating Snow Geese here I come ( well, next year, but I am patient). A new one cost 2100 dollars (but can be found at 1900), but 700 dollars is a lot easier on my wallet. It is interesting, some lens I am forced to buy new. For example the 105 DC lens, nope had to buy new. Just depends on the difference in price between new and used, if it is within 30%, 40% it better be in perfect shape, 50% used, and when it is 33%,, USED! I know there are better long zooms out there, but I don't have thousands and thousands of dollars, so this lens will be it. If I don't like it, can always sell it and get my money back. anybody shoot with this lens? [/QUOTE]
