A few thoughts on Monkey's post,
1. It does AF fast
2. Mine at least (yes in the field) has a lot of focus (chatter/adjusting) at long distance - Say at distances of 200 + feet - this is less apparent on sunny days, so I attribute it to being a slower lens.
3. In the right conditions it is very sharp and AF is spot on. I do think it is better than the 70-200 with a 2.0 - but, comparing lens to lens with no TC the 70-200 is so much quieter and smooth. I just kind of expected that this 80-400 would be on par being as it costs more.
4. Solid Build? yes and no - the tiny piece of plastic that attaches the outer switches to the inner parts is roughly 4 mm, and it is hollow - so lens solid yes, switches = crap
All in all I like the lens, with the above mentioned complaints. It is VERY useful and you can get shots that you may miss if walking around with a lesser zoom range.
