The D700 does great at high ISO as you can see from this one at 3200. I have been pleased with results as high as ISO 8000. The key thing to remember, especially on your D80 is that correct exposure is critical as ISO goes up to minimize noise. You are much better off to push the ISO one notch higher to get a good exposure than to keep it lower and under expose.

Many thanks for the reply, I really like the lens so far.. i should say it will stay on the camera most of the time. I bought it specifically for it's range and the fact it was designed for a FX body (which i will be going to a D700 soon). Other than it's weight, i think it's well worth the money. I have my auto iso turned off, and i usually shoot with this lens around 400 (unless direct sunlight), i'll shoot more manual instead of aperture mode to take your advice and see how my shots come out. thanks much for the input.. much appreciated.
