[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 108190, member: 9240"] My only autofocus problems with the lens were with a teleconverter and low light. It's not a bright lens, so it will hunt in low light situations. My take is that you get great bang for the buck only when there's a bit of a sacrifice, and that's it here. If you look at the bird shots in my Flickr gallery you'll notice at least 90% are with this lens - and 95% of those are handheld. In other words, the vibration reduction is superb. I wish it was sharper at 500mm, but I'll take a 400mm on a DX body over a tack sharp 300mm on an FX any day of the week for birding. My autofocus motor did go south after 14 months, but in 10 days Sigma repaired it and had it back to me. Great warranty service. [/QUOTE]
