Can try doing a search... been discussed b4. Heard it's a good glass outdoors, but if using indoors....

 

[ortega]

it's really heavy

best used with either a tripod or monopod
and a nice bright day

sweet spot is around F8 +/-

lots of user reviews do a google

my likes: minimum focusing distance at 500mm
creamy bokeh

some sample shots for you

how about Nikkor AF 80-400mm VR ? Heard it is very slow but compare with this?

80-400VR is an AF glass, not AF-S, so don't expect it to be very fast in that sense. Of course, anyday I'd prefer a Nikkor...

you can rent a 80-400 and bring it for a spin to see if it suits you
