Lello, no sample shots, but I was with a customer trying out one on his D80 the other day. I spent some time with him and we had some shots loaded up on the shop PC. Perhaps being over critical now, but we looked at some massively magnified cropped shots using the 1.4 and 2 convertors on this lens. The smaller convertor produced MUCH crisper results for us.
Interestingly, I had put the lens on a D80 for the customer to try, and I had to admit it did 'hunt' around for focus, particularly considering it's an f/2.8 optic. Even more interestingly, the customer came back in again later with his D200 to try again, and focus was better.....still hunting a little, but he was more than happy for his particular application.
There's some faster focus lenses around for similar money, but the versatility of the lense put's it into it's own niche. A nicely finished lens too.
Hope this helps a little
