This Red-tailed Hawk Pair can be seen several times a week looking over their domain high in the trees overlooking a large meadow and lake. Today, I tried to mate the 80-400mm and the Nikon V1. The V1 will not auto-focus the 80-400mm since it is not AFS. The new 80-400mm is AFS, but I do not have one. Anyway, handheld manual focus with the V1 turned out to be difficult with such a large lens. It took many shots to get one with reasonable focus.
