[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 719637, member: 46724"] Gotcha- and I agree completely- the zoom ring is frustratingly bad. Have you thought about the Sigma 60-600? I know nothing about it other than its supposedly better than the 50-500 it replaced or what the minimum focus distance is. Could be the same gummy zoom ring though. If it is any good, it could replace a couple of lenses though. I dont have the Tamron 70-200G2 but I do have the G1 and its a pretty special lens. I can only imagine it better in every way to the G1. Also consider the AF-P 70-300, the new one for full frame. That lens pretty much lives on my D7500. Its a very sharp, quick to focus lens that may work great for the distance you're after and its at least half the price as the 80-400. The 80-400 might very well be the best option for you and your situationbut I have read that the short end of that lens was the compromise. 400 looks great, 80 not so much. [/QUOTE]
