Great lens straight out of the box, and half the price of my 80-400mm AFS Nikon zoom (my "go-to" wilfdlife lens). It is a bit heavy, so you'll know it when you've been carrying it in the boonies a while. Also, zooming all the way in takes two twists of the lens - so a drawback if you need to react fast. Not one I use every day - but excellent for performance and price, and the capability to really reach out there.
