Nice Bunting. I'm sure though, you're not suggesting we grab our old D70's and a 50mm lens, and go out birding ... Ha Ha. I've got one that I used with a 70-300 5.6 Quantary, as well as a 400 5.6 Sigma Apo.

No, no Arnie. No need for a D70 for birding - one can put the Nik 50mm on a D7200 or D750!

(Joke)

I've got a Nik 200-500 mm although I don't use it longer than about 350 for image quality reasons. It's not as good as my Nik 300/F4 was but that lens needs repair/replacement unfortunately.

I like your white bird (egret?) + tree trunk picture. Where was it taken? It would make a good greetings card.

Probably you already know because I say it often enough, I like and deliberately use short lenses for birding.

I think this one was taken with my Nik 50mm but might have been Sigma 105mm (I can't remember):

D300; SB26 flashgun; Bluetit (Cyanistes caeruleus)
