First off thank you all for your valuable input on my quest to be a better photographer.

One of things I have been looking for is good 400mm tel. 
I mite have found one. And at a good price.

Its a Tamron 200-400mm LD iF 5.6 and its a good one. I have read the good and bad about this lens and it seems up to snuff of being a good one.

Random shots taken are sharp even at 400mm 5.6 mite be a just little soft. Hand holding an tripod about the same. One stop down and and its sharp.
Focus is pretty fast for me, faster than my 300 f4.5

I know most of you love the 70-400G but can not justify the price tag.

Any thoughts or comments on this lens?

Has anyone found a lens case to fit it. 5"x7" with foot attached.

Thanks again,

Ron (ronny)

Most lenses, with the exception of top quality glass is never at its sharpest wide open and benefits from being stopped down.
