[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 282045, member: 9701"] WHEW!!!!!!!!!! After the last couple of days of testing out my new 80-400VR, I was kind of disappointed. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has made a purchase, only to realize it was the wrong choice. I was starting to think I had a fairly expensive boat anchor. But, I kept reading and studying about the lens. This morning I went out to an excellent area for landscape pictures and used the lens in the environment that I really got it for. EUREKA! I didn't make a mistake. This lens is everything I want it to be. It's not a low-light lens.... I got it for daylight shooting. It's not a sports lens...... I got it for static and semi-static subjects. It's [I]only [/I]400mm...... [I]only[/I]? It's awkward....... I have a good tripod and remote. Here's the result.
