[QUOTE="STM, post: 738852, member: 12827"] 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 [I]is[/I] light enough to be hand held, something I just cannot do with my 14lb+ 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS [I]BEAST[/I] which is just too heavy and bulky to be able to hand hold and focus reliably. [ATTACH=CONFIG]341865._xfImport[/ATTACH] It is such a fantastic lens I may consider selling my 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS as this one will bridge the gap perfectly between my 200mm f/2 ED-IF AIS and the 600mm f/4.................naaah! :) Below is a series of shots taken off the back deck at a neighbors house using the D850. The railing has small light bulbs on it, which have a lot of detail. The first one is taken with a 50mm to give a sense of distance. The second one taken with the 400mm and the third with the 400mm and a 1.4x TC, giving and effective focal length of 560mm f/4 [ATTACH=CONFIG]341862._xfImport[/ATTACH] If you want to see a larger file go here: [URL]https://www.flickr.com/photos/185644121@N08/50126398851/in/photostream/[/URL] Below are 100% crops from both of the images: [ATTACH=CONFIG]341863._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
