I'm not saying to get the 85, but I should put an image where my mouth (text) is.  So I walked down the street and shot this.  Keep in mind that I'm demonstrating just the AF here, it's a terrible shot against the light, technically after sunset, overcast day (err night just barely), bird underexposed by 3-5 stops in darkest area.  The bird started out towards me and chose a path to my left:

But it's in focus, and that is at a fairly wide aperture of f/2.8

Only shot for 5 minutes to get it, lots more sharp shots but this was the closest, not much more time available anyway (sunrise/sunset transitions are very fast here in Qatar).
