Decent shot Paul.
Seems the 80-320 gives farily good sharpness,at least on my humble Adobe
corrected

The bit of purple fringe is a tiny bit distracting but at the same times adds a
bit of
funky to it. :-)
Do you find this lens does this alot,or just certain backgrounds and or focal
lengths. I
would like to add
1-2 more AF lenses for the D.
