Year end gear comparison - two rigs with 960mm EFL. D800/D850 with 600mm f5.6 ais and tc16a, and D7200 with 400mm f5.6 ais and tc16a. The D7200 combo has some surprising advantages besides weight, and size. It acquires focus faste (simpler AF?), can be handheld, and has a higher keeper rate. The full frame gives a more pleasant OOF area, crop-ability, better DOF, and a file that can be (if need be) pushed further. I tend to use both with mono-pods that have tri-foot ends that rest on the pan of my mobility scooter when outside, and desktop tripods for in home bird snooping.
Shot with 5DS-R and Nikkor 50mm f1.2 ais of comparison subjects mounted on various Koolehaoda brand desktop tripods and ball heads.
