Sample shots from Nikon 80-400mm VR lens 1 / 11 (Start seq 120; Curr file dsc15805.jpg)
These are sample images from the Nikon 80-400mm VR lens which I have since sold.

Other than cropping, the images are un-retouched. All images were shot with a D300.
As you can see I like photographing birds. I am selling the 80-400 in order to upgrade to the 200-400mm f4, which is faster and sharper but of course much larger, heavier and more expensive. I found the 80-400 reasonably sharp at 400mm at f8 or f11, not so sharp wide-open at 400mm. Autofocus was generally fast enough for me but VR was hit or miss at 400mm under about 1/250th of a second.

White-crowned Sparrow. 400mm is really helpful for birds; the actual image size is almost double that of a 300mm.

White-crowned Sparrow. The 400mm made this shot possible. Cropping, contrast-enhancement, noise reduction and sharpening would improve it quite a bit; what you see here is the original jpg from the camera.

Bank Swallow. The autofocus isn't fast enough for birds in flight, but you can occasionally get a decent shot the old-fashioned way - manual focus.
