Hello

I have been using digital cameras for about 12 years and photography is a hobby for me. I started out with 1/2 inch sensor zooms and slowly moved to full frame. I currently do not have a camera and have decided my next one will be the Nikon D750. High ISO/low noise performance is why I have decided on the D750. My past full frame was a Pentax K1. I sold my K1 due to the obvious lack of lens choices and simply do not have the patience to wait any longer.

I will post more in the gear section concerning my lens questions. I look forward to becoming a new owner of a very fine camera and lens in the coming days.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride.
We look forward to seeing more posts and samples of your work.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I switched gears from the D750 and purchased a D500 and 200-500 f/5.6 ED VR. They arrived late yesterday and I just took it out to a nearby lake for the first time today. I have been wanting to shoot birds for a long time; which is the reason I left Pentax. It really came down to reach vs low light performance and I chose reach. Here is one I shot today. Nothing great but I can tell from just one day, this setup has all the potential in the world.

Welcome to the forum. Congrats on the new gear. I can tell you that you will not be disappointed with the 200-500 f/5.6 lens. I love mine. The only reason I do not use it more is its weight, but it is a great lens that stays on my D7200.

Hope you enjoy it here. This is a helpful bunch and a lot of folks shoot birds.

You made an excellent choice, that is a great setup for birds.
