Re: "Official" Nikon 500 f/5.6E PF Discussion and Image Thread
Here are a couple more images taken recently with the 500mm PF lens. The first image was taken with the D500 camera, and the second image was taken with the D850 camera. Both images were taken from the exact same spot in the Skagit Wildlife Refuge, but on different days. The purpose of these trips was to try out the 500mm PF lens on swallows in flight. I will be posting a more complete set of the swallow images on the Nature & Wildlife forum here soon. All in all, I was pretty happy with the 500mm PF lens for swallows in flight. But, both camera bodies struggled a bit (as did the photographer) with tracking and autofocus on these very fast and highly erratic fliers. I need to go back to try out how the D5 body handles similar conditions with the 500mm PF lens.
