That Nikon 500mm lens at f4 is "pretty, pretty good."

Jorgen,I learned a couple of things today:
- That the buffer of the D810 can take much more when I use fast cards, like the Sandisk CF Extreme Pro 64GB that I bought two of and Sandisk SD Extreme Pro 64GB that I bought one of a couple of days ago, all for the price of a perfectly usable digital camera.
- That when utilising those cards to the maximum, even a 64GB card fills up at an incredible speed. I managed 2,300 images and roughly 90GB during an hour of the aerial display at Singapore Airshow today :shocked:
D810 with 200-500mm f/5.6 @ 500mm and f/8
Thank you Peter. Here's another interesting fact:Jorgen,
the results are obviously worth every cent, both the lens, the cards and the camera of course! Really like what I see

You are too kind, Joe. You are right that this is a lens that suits me well though. Not too heavy, very high image quality and well laid out. There's also no CA. It vignettes quite a lot at 500mm, also at f/8, but that is easily taken care of in ACR, so no worries.Awesome photos Jorgen. Knew you would like the 200-500mm. I've used it with the D810 and recently with the Nikon V3 and I am thoroughly pleased. Look forward to many many more from your talented hands. Happy shooting.
That's a fantastic looking image/shape, Stanley. Did you put the b/g in later, or have you a sheet of black velvet in your back yard in front of which you have trained the birds to pose?In my back yard this afternoon

Was the original image cropped. The edges appear to be pretty much free of coma, and I've read that this a weakness of the 24 Art for astro photography. Impressive!Here's is one from camping at the Racetrack Playa in Death Valley last weekend.
Got down into the 20's up there
