Will this work with a Nikon D80. Did work well with outside sporting events?

Yes, it will work great on a D80. I can't really recommend it for action photography. It's just not fast enough. If you shoot at a high ISO setting and have a lot of sun, it would be fine, but on overcast days I think it would be challenging to stop the action.

Mike, I did buy this lens and used it on my Nikon D70 and Nikon D200. I used the lens to take pictures of birds mostly. For me personally, the lens would be too heavy/bulky for sporting events. It does take great pictures.

Yes, the lens will work with the D80. It is not a particularly fast lens, so you would need lots of light for sporting shots. Daytime it would probably be fine, but even under stadium lights at night, you are likely to get some soft shots.

The connection on the Nikon cameras are all the same. On a full frame camera, there could be some vignetting. .

I have used this lens with Canon 20D & 5D MkII to shoot mainly Air Shows at EAA Oshkosh & some Road Race's at Road America but I'm very happy with this len's, as others have said this lens does likes light so you can keep the shutter speed up to catch those fast moving subjects.

I dont know if it will work with a Nikon, it works great for Cannon's that both my boys have. At least 12 feet or better for distance.

I have a Nikon d80 and it works great with that. Definitely better than the built in flash and is ok as a professional. If you are in photography I recommend springing for a little more expensive one and a soft box or defuser.

I don't think you would have an issue. We have used it extensively with a good 70-200 2.8 lens for sporting events with no issues.

I really can't speak to those events specifically (yet) but I have taken shots of my kids running in the park, rolling down the hill, etc with both the kit lens and the new 50mm I just got and the d3200 worked great. Disclaimer here is that those are outdoor photos. Depending on the venue and the lighting, that may somewhat play a factor in his it performs for action photos. Also, I've used both the single shot and continuous shot features and am very pleased with the results.

Yes, this is a great camera for anything outside of sports photography. The frame rate is not the best out their but I shoot wedding and portraits with my DF with no issue.

It worked great on a Nikon D70s, a D90 and a D7000. It should work on the D80 but I have not used on so I can't make a guarantee.

Should be fine. Works great on Nikon D610 & D800E at a beach wedding. Picked up vows & ceremony even with wind & surf.

I use it with my D7000 for sports and I am able to shoot for night games as well. Works fine for me.

Its works perfectly with the D700 and D800. I use it with both cameras.No issues what so ever.

Sorry I can't help you on this. I have A D800, and it works as advertised. Try calling Nikon technical help, their number is on their website.

Yes it will work with the D80 however i am using it with my D70 and am not impressed with the TTL operation as opposed to my SB600. for the price it is OK but will not compare to original Nikon SB's

yes. Use the S setting which is for shutter speed priority. I use mine for sports.

Would this work well for recording athletic events - higher speed action shots?

That would be a question that should be answered by a rep from Sigma. It works great with newer cameras, but I'm not sure about D80.

The camera is very good but I have never tried it with sports. I use it only for domestic photos. Regarding the lens pack I felt it was useful for me.

Yes - I used mine (very, very briefly) with my D800. When it worked, it was perfect, but it then failed suddenly and has not worked since.
