[QUOTE="snj979s, post: 605566, member: 43052"] First impressions after shooting for 30min and looking at the images on pc. Wow! The VR is the best I've ever experienced and I'm surprised as to how helpful it is before I press the shutter. Sharpness is a substantial improvement over my 70-300 and the range is a bit beyond the bird spook range verses being in the I nearly always spook them range. lol. The lens hood snaps in to place fine, not sure why people complain about this. Autofocus works great imo on d800, with focus limiter it's still a fair amount faster than all the general purpose zooms I've used. Of course I haven't owned a bright 70-200 either. The focus is spot on after a few tests so I'm not really worried about my copy. My only problem is I don't have anything to put it in when attached to the camera. It's a big boy. I can hand hold fine but will take my monopod on adventures. First one starts while it's still dark tomorrow morning! [/QUOTE]
