It may have a rear facing camera but i am betting it does not take good photos. Just sayingWhere my D750 and long lens money went.

Well, I finally can post something here. Ha!
A Rocket Blower (Large), to see how it compared with the off brand I already had.
My D800 has only had an 85mm reach...... until a minute ago.

I just ordered the Nikon 200-500/5.6 telephoto from Cameta Camera.
It is Christmas, you know. Well pretty close to Christmas. OK, I just bought it cuz I wanted it.
Everything (except for the partial recall) I've read is very positive. I hope it turns out that way.
I also put an ad on Craigslist for a "lens bearer" to help me carry the D800/200-500 combo. And, I'm starting to lift weights tomorrow. Or the next day.....

If it ever stops raining, I'll get out for some sample photos (Marilynne, I'll be meeting you at Green Cay.)
This came as a shock,i would never have put you down for a long lens man,looking forward to seeing your perspective with this lens.
Congrats!!!!! You'll love itI'm becoming a productive member of today's photographic society as I have just purchased the tam-zooka for my D7100. Should be here today.

I just ordered the Nikon 200-500/5.6 telephoto from Cameta Camera.I got one of the first ones shipped. I'm not a long lens guy (until now) and had a D7000 in addition to my FX bodies. I had to upgrade to a D7200 as a 1.5x teleconverter (no light loss) to get me extra reach with comparable IQ. Now, @750mm, f/5.6, I'm in the long lens business!

I'm calling dibs. If you don't like it, you have to give me first shot at taking it off your hands at a substantial discount.![]()
Have you thought about getting a drone and sending the 750 and 50mm up after the birds in flight![]()
I've been looking for one of those, but just not so new!
