I use a Bushhawk with the f/2.8 and I imagine that would cause some heads to turn wandering around in NYC.

Ha ha !
Definietly some heads will turn. I have gotten in situation with a cop, shooting bridges with 70-200 some years ago ( 911 was not yet a distant memory back then). A big 300/2.8 may look even more 'suspicious'. It is actually quite dumb If I were some shady character, WHY would I use a DSLR and announce all the people in the world that I am Mr Shady ? Anyway, the little brother seems to be doing fine, but I need to get better with technique. The light weight and small size is great to take with me to work, but, lack of 'mass' make the vibration bigger, sometimes, beyond VR can handle. Also, it can not be used for self protection either
So I made the D750 cry last night. Shooting dress rehearsal for my church for our Christmas Eve service and wow....ISO 12800 at f/1.8 and 1/60s is *dark*
I think I might be able to activate VC on the lens and go down to 1/30s. They don't move around a lot and I think with enough short bursts I'll get some good ones.

Might be best not to use logic since it is not being used much by the other side.
I was using my just purchased 28mm mounted on a rangefinder to take some 'shots' of the Brooklyn Bridge long before 911 when I got questioned...
For self protection I recommend a Nikon F!
Christmas service at my church and photographing the real show. I think i did a bit better this time. I really like this D750
The young lady singing has an amazing voice and is actually the daughter of the Pastor (who is also an awesome singer and piano player), and the Pastor's wife ALSO sings and plays piano -- an incredibly talented family and awesome people in general.
