Speaking for myself and many many that have posted in this thread, Very well.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong...but my results on the D500 aren't comparable to what I've seen here, but I've only shot handheld, which was pretty much the main reason for buying the lens. I know the lens is fine as the images are great on the D750 and the D500 is fine because the images are great with the 500 F4.

Handheld, almost full frame...the hits just keep on comin'
The D500's so good, I feel like I'm cheating.

Gulf of Maine
Great Black-backed Gull
male Common Eider
The Gulls cannot dive for Crabs; so they steal Crabs from Eiders, which are tolerant of the Gulls staying close as the Eiders dive for the crabs. Also, apparently the Eiders cannot fly with their crabs.
thanks!
