Thanks,David. I've, also, read that there are those who feel the 80~320 is somewhat sharper than the 100~300. This particular lens was bought from Adorama ($189) with a "demo" rating and appears to never have even been handled. Zoom and manual focus ring are both smooth and snug. Bought a metal hood that when put in place, feels and sounds like the lens threads are NOT plastic. Pleasant surprise.
