Not Paul but I did use the 80-320 extensively with a tripod as part of a light mountain kit, and enlarged to 30x45cm several pictures taken with it including low contrast ones. The lens is excellent up to 135, very good at 200 and beyond 240 mm the image falls apart. This is at all focus distances. The exception is at close range (1.5-3 m) where the central 60% part of the frame is very good at 300mm, the rest is still sharp but suffers from chromatic aberrations. Servus, Alin
