Hey lads and ladies,
I currently have the option to pick up the older model, non-af-s 80-400mm vr lens for a great price, but am unsure whether it'll suit my needs. I will be shooting Australian Rules Football, which is a very fast paced game. The reach would be great, but the reviews that I have read indicate that it has a very slow autofocus and is no good for sports.
At the moment I shoot a 55-300, which also has a fairly slow focus speed. How would the focus speed of 80-400mm compare to this?
Would I just be better off getting a 70-300mm vr?
Opinions would be appreciated!
