Re: "Official" Nikon 500 f/5.6E PF Discussion and Image Thread
At 1/100s the exposure is just too long to observe differences in lens optical quality; there will always be some blur. With long lenses you need a robust tripod, fast shutter speed and/or flash and LV focus to see the quality a lens is capable of.
My observations about sharpness falloff with the 200-500 at 500mm were made using a tripod (4-series Gitzo systematic, Kirk two point tripod mount, EFCS and cable release, which is my standard technique when using long lenses for static subjects such as landscape or architectural details). Without tripod, results are worse.
