No. What sort of problems? Hunting? Or a false-positive focus indication? I've used the 80-200/2.8 some on the -D, I've used the Limiteds a lot. My only focus issue has been that the camera doesn't always pick the focus point that I would pick. Probably half the time or more I have used manual focusing because of that. But I wouldn't say that this is a "problem" with the camera... Stan
