I'm liking this new D500 I bought this week.
I love it with my 200-500mm Nikkor for birding.
I'm disappointed how quickly it burns through batteries (although it helps to turn on "airplane mode")
But I'm thinking of getting a grip - not the Nikon one, that is way too much. But maybe a B&H Vello or Amazon's Neewer or Mieke or _______??
BUT - then my camera and lens will not fit into my current long lens bag. I bought an Ape Case ACPROLC18 from B&H. Works great, can even hold lens, camera with T.C. attached. But that is all.
Any recommendations?
Work around is to take the camera and lens separately. sub-optimal but do-able.
