600mm f/4 WD-IF AIS Nikkor 200mm f/4 AIS Micro Nikkor

My fiancé and I went to Charleston, SC for a little day trip. Charleston is a city rich in history and Southern Charm with lots of interesting sights. I snapped a few shots in "Old Charleston" while there. The window was found on "Rainbow Row", which is a block of very old "Row Houses" painted...

On the way from Charleston, SC I saw this sign on the side of an old dilapidated filling station and liked it so much, I deleted my first one and replaced it with this one. The fact that the two pieces of the sign don't quite match up perfectly and are not quite plumb with the siding just adds...

There are also some very nice sunsets to be found around Pauley's Beach as well

Another image from that shoot. I love this 400mm f/2.8 ED IF AIS more each time I take it out!

Huntington Beach State Park, Murrells Inlet, SC. Nikon D750, 400mm f/2.8 ED IF AIS Nikkor

I broke out the sewing machine and covered my "new" 400mm F/2.8 ED IF AIS Nikkor with Realtree fabric. All of my other long telephotos have already been done. Each piece is cut from heavy weight cotton fabric and with velcro strips at both ends. Camouflaging the lens comes in very handy when...

I actually did take it with the 400mm f/2.8, not the 600mm f/4 as I said in a previous post, my bad. And I agree, it is MERCILESSLY sharp! At 100% crop with the D850 it is amazing.

"Alright"?? Are you freakin' kidding me? It is outstanding! Did you use StarStax? This one makes mine look really lame! This one was a combination of about (100) 30 second images stitched together with StarStax.

I am selling it after 11 years and replacing it with a D750. With all of the wading/shore bird photography I am doing, I am wanting to have 3 bodies with the 200mm f/2, 400mm f/2.8 and 600mm f/4 ED-IF Nikkors mounted at the ready. For me, fast prime glass is the only way to go. My D700 has...

Any new camera takes a little getting used to. Granted, with my D500 if sharpness is an issue, the problem is with me and not the camera or lens, as all of my lenses are MF AIS Nikkors. Give it some time. I have had superlative results with the D500. I took this yesterday of a Glossy Ibis with...

I caught this Tri-color Heron stalking a fish yesterday with the D850. Sharp as a razor!

At 62 I am often carrying about 45-50 pounds of gear around with me. It gets heavier every year. I ordered a collapsible cart the other day. At this point it is not so much about the weight, but the sheer volume of what I like to carry around; 3 bodies and my 200mm f/2, 300mm f/2.8, 400mm f/2.8...

CA is very well controlled in the 200mm f/2. 300mm f/2.8, 400mm f/2.8 and 600mm f/4 ED IF AIS Nikkors. I cannot say how the old and new compare in sharpness, but when I can literally see the filaments in those bulbs under 300x crops from that distance, I am more than pleased with the results...

And I thought my 600mm f/4 was a beast, that 800mm f/5.6 is HUGEMONGOUS. My 400mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS arrived in the mail today and it is a beauty! It fills out my stable of "Beasts"; 200nn f/2, 300mm f/2.8, 400mm f/2.8 and 600mm f/4 ED-IF perfectly. Unlike my 600mm f/4, the 400mm f/2.8 is...

A 400mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS Nikkor. Man is it a beauty! Sharp as a freakin' razor and though it is no lightweight at almost 10lbs, it is light enough to be hand held, something I just cannot do with my 14lb+ 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS BEAST which is just too heavy and bulky to be able to hand hold and...

It looks like something out of a 1950's B-movie sci fi flick but it works like a champ. You can vary each of the two flashes from full power to 1:128 independently and it has a pilot light to aid in focusing in dim light. You can twist each flash into an infinite array of positions. I shot...

D850/105mm f/2.8 AIS Micro Nikkor w/ PN-11. 47 images focus stacked.

A cute little bugger, only 8mm leg tip to leg tip front to back. D850, 55mm f/2.8 AIS Micro Nikkor (reversed) on a PB-6 bellows
