Yes
As i've finnaly had a good chance to use the camera over the weekend.

I've noticed that the lens is very slow @ AF'ing while panning.

Has any one else noticed the problem with this lens?

Thanks

It's a common problem with all cheaper tele-zooms, it's partly down to the motor and partly because the lens lets in less light than one with constant f2.8 for example.

I though it would be something to do with that.

roll on end of october :D

Yup mine was the same, makes an awful noise when it hunts also :embarrassed: Replaced it with the nikon 70-300 VR now :D
 
Not really sure, I would think about the £60-80 mark :shrug:
