YES!

Are these out at Muriwai?  Your profile says you live in Buckinghamshire. . . as that is unlikely to be a short drive out to an Australasian Gannett colony I guess to have moved out to our part of ...

Yeah. . . the Fantails pick off the insects that human activity generate - often darting around half a meter / 18 inches or so from your face.  Very fast little critters. . . it took around an ...

Cropped a little. . . Piwakawaka (New Zealand Fantail) on Tiritiri Island

Actually. . . that should probably read "The automotive industry. . . "

Volkswagen has something to learn here

What king of pedigree does Nitto Koyagu have in making lenses of the standard that will be demanded by buyers of this system?

Might need a Hasselblad forum. . .

Just intrigued why this was posted in the Nikon FX forum. . . you're shooting with a Sony 85mm f1.4 and Canon 200mm f2 on a Sony A7. . . according to your gear list. Nice images though!

Nice work!

Can you please explain "AFFT". Thanks,

I have the same dilemma. . . do I keep my 300mm f4D AF-S / 1.4 TCE II and add a D500 as a second body or do I upgrade to the 200-500mm to use with my D750.  I cannot really afford to buy both the ...

Very sad

I have used the current 300mm f2.8VR / 1.4x TC (Rented from White Studios in Auckland) for a weekend on Tiritiri Matangi with my D600 (since upgraded to D750).  It's a heavy lens and I found that ...

Such a great camera. Do we really need a "D850" or would a "D810s" be sufficient for the next upgrade. . . adding in the D5's AF, Snapbridge and Expeed 5?

I use a 300mm f4 IF-ED with 1.4x TCII for birding.  I rented a 200-500mm a few weeks ago to see how it performed.  There was no noticeable difference in image quality or focus speed.  The zoom was ...

I spent the day on Tiritiri Island last Friday. This is an open sanctuary about an hour away from Auckland. It's 1 square mile hosts hundreds of New Zealand's endangered birds - many of which are ...

Update. . . have hired a 200-500 for the day to try it out.  Spending around 6 hours today on Tiritiri Island, a magnificent open bird sanctuary near Auckland, so will post a few images. Just ...

Technical question for all those so-minded. . . is there any reason why Nikon (or Canon, or Sony) could not produce lenses with leaf shutters in them, a la Hasselblad?

Thanks all again. . . when I went to book the flights, the cheap fares (NZ$ 699) being advertised had sold out - the only flights available were $1,900 (x 4). We decided to go to Australia instead ...
