[QUOTE="J-see, post: 449363, member: 31330"] I took it to the test after dot-tuning it on the D750. The light conditions were different and the duckling was a bit closer but it's as good as it got. Processed the same way I do the D810 shots. Cropped down each time until 100%: [ATTACH=CONFIG]155089._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]155090._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]155091._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]155092._xfImport[/ATTACH] Sure it can't beat the D810 but it's still pretty darn decent. What I directly did notice was how comfortable this combo is to handhold compared to the D810. Less weight and the [I]extended[/I] grip make all the difference. The only thing I wonder about is if the price of this lens is justified on every cam. For the same money you can have the previous 300mm f/4 + TC1.4X.
