“Not too bad”.... Ron, these are fabulous, beautiful photos thanks.
I'm still using the 200-500 and D850, keep looking at the 500mm PF, anybody tried one yet ?
Just a few more Peregrine shots with the 200-500 wide open at f5.6
Thank you , ideally I’d like a little extra speed , the 200-500 isn’t the quickest when it comes to grabbing so I usually have to help a little with my thumb on the focus ring . I do have a 300mm f2.8 , it works great with the TC-14e iii but not so good with the 1.7 or x2 when it comes to fast birds . I still find 420mm a little short on fullframe , something like a 600mm f4 would be niceStellar images as always Ron. I've been drooling over the 500PF but there's no way I could justify buying one. Looks a lovely lens, but judging from the images you're getting with the 200-500, what extra would you be hoping to get from the 500?
Not knowing a huge amount about these lenses, would a second hand 300/2.8 VRII not make a better buy? Use with a TC for more reach and use without for something really special with bigger / more close up subjects?
