It is not autofocus but manual focus with 'A' aperture. Please PM me if you still have interest. I will try to post product pictures as soon as I find the time. If you want to see the pictures, please PM me first and I will point you to pictures from previous owner.
The lens is pretty good for the price. I find it soft at wide open aperture especially in the long end in 200mm initially. It is a heavy lens and softness can come from user errors in hand-holding. Once I use a tripod and consciously stop down when I can, the lens perform better than expected. At f/2.8, I still consider it soft but quite usable when I try it in indoor dim light on circus and baseball
Here is a picture of Kate Earl performing live music, I had both the DA* 50-135mm and the Tokina AT-X 80-200mm and I opted for the later due to longer reach for the musician
I need to sell due to wanting to upgrade to either a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 with HSM or
Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 for helping my friend with soccer games.
Thanks,
