Nikkor AF 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR ED D lens

Thanks buddy! Yes I sorta figured that, but I don't want to bothering using extension tubes anymore. I'll just use my 105mm micro for my macro needs. It works very well without any hassle. I just tried the 80-400mm for the heck of it out of curiosity.

The closest focus distance is about 6ft for your lens! But it will focus closer if you put a macro tube on and hand hold to see how close it will focus. Then put on your tripod once you know the range.

It seems that processing raw shots, that I can seem to always tell if I'm over doing the sharpness. I,m ruining the photos about half the time it seems.Sigh..................................

 

[Bill16]

Just testing to see if I can upload at least one photo at a time!

Very nice flower shots.
There is no Exif data by the way.

It shows up for me. But all three shots are at 400iso,400 shutter speed, f/7.1and 340mm on my D300 using my 80-400mm lens! Hand held was the reason for the high settings. I tend to shake.

Now I have returned to this thread it shows up for me as well! Very strange. Sorry about the false alarm.
Great shots though.

I have heard that this lens is slow focusing. I am a hobbyist looking to shoot mostly wildlife. How is the focusing speed on this lens?

 

[Bill16]

It's a bit slow, but I haven't had much chance to try shooting wildlife with it yet! Birds in flight might be needing a faster lens! I,'m hoping to try shooting squirrels with it this year!
It's a great lens other than it is not a real fast lens!

I used one for a few weeks,it is a bit slow especially at the long end,the main time it was a problem was BIF and i did find the copy i was using was a bit soft at the long end.
