[QUOTE="jay_dean, post: 621103, member: 34040"] If i go birding i use a D7200 and Nikon 500mm f/4, i go with a shutter speed of 1/1000-1250th, auto ISO and stop down to f5.6. If the subject is close i can drop down to 1/500-800th. On a close subject ISOs over 1000 are very usable, start heavy cropping and thats a different matter. This is a 8.5 pound lens but i find it handholdable and i dont work out or anything, so if you're even moderately fit superzooms and most primes are handholdable. If you're an OAP then ok, you might have trouble;) [/QUOTE]
