[QUOTE="canux, post: 187830, member: 15281"] First Post... from a rank amateur. I have the D800e and this lens and I'm still working out the kinks (with my understanding, not with the lens). I really like the reach it affords me (I can get some shots that I would otherwise not have been able to make). I personally don't mind the weight of it at all, and took the collar off it and will often trek around with it on the camera in a sling bag. Some shots: [IMG]http://time.canux.com/gallery3/var/albums/Grindstone-Marsh/2013-07-28%20at%2005-44-30.jpg?m=1375371980[/IMG] [IMG]http://time.canux.com/gallery3/var/albums/Grindstone-Marsh/2013-07-28%20at%2006-07-57.jpg?m=1375372187[/IMG] This one (female cardinal) was taken at maximum zoom, and while I wish it was better I was happy to get it at all. [IMG]http://time.canux.com/gallery3/var/albums/Grindstone-Marsh/2013-07-28%20at%2006-41-25.jpg?m=1375372168[/IMG] All the pics in this gallery were taken with the D800e and the 80-400 lens. I have also found that I don't have any issues with power consumption, even while hauling it around Iceland and bagging several hundred pictures a day with it. I do find the AF difficult, but that would describe AF for me in general on any lens. I was capturing birds in flight over some cliffs in Iceland and had to go purely manual to get the shots I wanted. But again, it's more likely the operator than the lens. [/QUOTE]
