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.
