    Excellent set.
    The 80-400VR is my main zoo lens. Not a fast focus lens, but it works well with my D300 and I see it shines with the D3 in capable hands. Well done.

    Thanks. I found that if it doesn't have any focus at all and has to hunt it's pretty slow. But once you achieve focus and recompose it's able to lock on pretty quickly. And it is certainly easier to haul around than the 200-400 :)

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks. The last 3 are pretty boring I guess. I like the flamingo because of how it is holding it's head but the other two I should probably delete.
