I love my 80-400 AF-D lens, I keep it on a D300s for now, killer cheap combo.
This last week, same thing happened to me, my Oly ‘em-5 would focus but not clear in viewfinder, figured it out pretty quick but was momentarily alarmed

Where do you go to produce hard copies (prints) of your pics? Shutterfly?
I go to my den/office. I love to try different papers as the photo might suggest. It’s my ultimate goal, and my Canon Pixma Pro is wonderful at prints on 13x19 size paper, and it awes me to see the results that are possible with a push if a button.
I had one, loved it, the Oly 4/3’s lenses were great
Well I think this thread is about haptics largely, how cameras fit in our hands and pleasant operation in use. I’ve always loved the feel of the big Nikons my D2x with a 25-50 f3.5 isn’t used much but I just love to play with it.
I really like my Oly’s, but every time I reach for one it seems the battery goes kaput asap, never happens though with my Nikon DSLRs.
I have the first edition and I absolutely love it on my D300s where it is a 120-600. If money were no object then yes it would be nice to have the longer (awkward) and heavier 200-500, but I love my old slow AF-D super zoom and have taken tons of great pics with it. But with the D type focusing being lackadaisical at best she isn’t ideal for BIF, just ideal to me.
In my younger traveling daze it was my F4 with my trusty 35-70 f2.8 and Kodachrome, things have changed, still have big ol’ Nikon DSLRs FF which I love, and 24-120 f4, but for travel now, it’s my MFT kit, with plenty of batteries 2 em-5’s one with a battery grip, 14-45 and 40-145 kit lenses, plus a Laowa 17mm f1.7 for low light, and it all weighs less, (apparently to me) then oneDSLR w/lens.
Bodies are less than $200 with kit lenses all day long, practically waterproof, indestructible, and 16 really decent mpx.
Or take the d7000 with the 18-105…but, boring…nobody will be impressed with your gear, not that it matters, my little Oly’s always get a convo started.
I love my Canon Pixma Pro 100! Love it! I’ve had it for a while now, never gives any problem at all. I also use 3rd party ink, a lot cheaper. I’m very happy with my 13x19 prints
Bottom feeders like myself are blessed right now, picked up my D850 last year from a local pro for $1k, it’s a hobby for me, a passionate one, but I’m fine with DSLR’s. I’ve also got MFT so mirrorless isn’t something I’m afraid of.
It does remind me of the onslaught of CDs during the 80-90’s. That’s when I got into vinyl, Linn TTs and high end cartridges were selling for Pennie’s on the dollar, mint fine records were cheap, funny thing is I sold almost all the analog stuff a couple of years ago for $$$, all things have their season. Mirrorless eats batteries at least that’s my experience and it seems my DSLRs always are ready to go, my Oly MFT not so much.
I’ve always been happy with my AF-D 80-400 f4.5-5.6, nobody ever talks about this lens, unless it’s to bad mouth it. The newer AF-S is an improvement, but for the money, on my D300S it is terrific. Not for sports or BIF, slow, but I’m happy
