ah chua, how are you? nice shots you got here... was thinkin of getting this lens but as i've read AF is a bit on the slow side, since you've got it, might as well ask you how it really is.

Yes u are rite.. AF not as good as the AFS.. But usually I set the lens to limit so it wont go all the way back and front. So AF will be a bit faster...

Well I onli got this lens about a week but all i can say its a good sharp lens, bokeh is also ver swee...:sweatsm:

Very good shots

Ah Chua, i can tell u, birding is very addictive, more than macro (to me).

Happy shooting!

The AF is slow, but the image quality is :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

If (1) the bird is stationary and (2) u can get close to the bird i.e. less than 10metres away --> guaranteed super super ultra nice bird shots!

The 80-400vr is a piece of gem if (i) u use it correctly & (ii) use it to shoot the right subject i.e. stationary subjects & (iii) you are near to the birds.
