Hey guys, gals,
I was wondering if there is anyone that is shooting action sports or racing with the Nikon 80-400?
I've been looking at this for a while and it look pretty good from what i see spec wise, although i'm concerned with the "slow" focus speed which i read in most reviews. how bad is bad?
I shoot primarily hydroplane racing from the shoreline and long in important. The 300 i think is going to be a little shy from where i need to be at most events. So the 80-400 fit the bill.
If this lens wont cut it, then i'm getting forced to go to the 70-200 f2.8 with a 2x on it and that is going to really hurt the pocket book. Or settle for the 70-300 and i think i'm going to be shy on length with that.
Cheers
