M mikew_RIP Senior Member Oct 6, 2014 #2 Had one in 35mm days,if i remember it will need a auto focus motor in the camera and it didnt focus all that close,i honestly cannot remember what the IQ was like.

A aroy Senior Member Oct 10, 2014 #4 I think it is a non AF-S version, so you need a motor in body for AF. Here is a discussion I found SIGMA 400mm AF f5.6 APO - BirdForum Sigma 400mm/f5.6 APO HSM Macro | Stormpetrel's blog The Nikon 300mm F4 + TC 1.4 achieves the same FL, but has inbuilt motor and is generally better build and IQ.
