Trying out a new lens
7

Just bought a used 800mm f/5.6 ED VR.  Most of the shots used a support (not a tripod), a few were hand held.  Hand holding this monster is going to be the exception, right now I can not change camera settings without putting it down.

Wonderful!  Great detail.

One of the great things about the D500 is that you can program buttons to change many of the things you would commonly change while shooting, like Focus area modes, and metering areas.

What we spend on this stuff is equal to the depth of our pockets squared ($²) times what we (j)ustify in our minds as to what we expect to do with our pictures plus (+) the (e)njoyment we experience from using our stuff and sharing the result ... $xxxx=$²(j+e )
