[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 847129, member: 50197"] I think you will like the internal zoom feature of this lens. I was previously using an F mount 200-500 Nikon and an FTZ adapter. It worked well, was remarkably sharp for the price point. I think the AF is a little faster with the 180-600 and it is slightly sharper. I really like not having to deal with the adapter. As a bonus I can use focus limiting with the 180-600, which I couldn't with the F mount. That has been more useful than I thought. I programed my F3 button to turn on and off the locus limiting, and that makes it far more useful. Focus limiting comes in very handy when photographing small birds at fairly close distances. I can set a reasonable distance behind the bird and don't have issues with the AF grabbing something in the background and then not wanting to come back to a closer distance. If I see something outside of my limiting parameters, I just hit the F3 button and turn off focus limiting. [/QUOTE]
