I just bought a D700. Amazing camera.
I want to shoot Ospreys and other birds flying.
I'm thinking of a 400mm and the possibility of using 1.4x or 1.7x extenders for it.
Is AS-F II much improvement over AS-F I?
It seems a Wimberly head is the way to go for panning flying birds. Does VR help with that setup?
I'm new to autofocus so I need help. I've got some decent results pre- and manual focused, but would like to get better focus and higher keeper rate.
Will focus tracking work with diving birds?
All these questions relate to getting the newest version 400 mm or something older.
Thanks for any help.
Best,
Mitchell
