[QUOTE="Craig Rogers, post: 445956, member: 37980"] The AF-D 80-400 is not a good bird lens, AF is very very slow. It's old technology that was released back in 2000 if I remember correctly. It doesn't have a focus motor so can only be used on a camera body that has a focus drive and even then it's just too slow for anything moving quickly. The AF-S on the other hand is great, but is a lot more. I've not used either the Tamron or Sigma, but have seen fairly good results from both. [/QUOTE]
