The D500 is an APS-C camera with a 1.5x crop to that 300mm has a 450mm FOV on a full frame camera. So you are still talking about using a lens that is over the 400mm f4.5 focal length. The 400mm ...

Biggest issue I see is you shot at the worst time on a sunny day which led to harsh light. This resulted in overexposure. The image would have really benefited from underexposing a bit and letting ...

Glad to help, only offering food for thought for people. I sold all my F mount gear, 3 D500's, 200-500, Tamron 24-70 G2, Tamron 90mm Macro within 3 weeks of owning the Z9 and only kept the 500PF ...

That is exactly my point in a nutshell ;)

I was as I explained that in my post. Though you still have slightly less pixel density crop 45mp down to the FOV of the D500 APS-C's 20.9mp. You are cropping so you are also losing any ISO ...

There is a pretty large distinction between sports and wildlife photography for camera and lenses. Choosing a lens for sports, you generally setup your position in relation to where you know where ...

I've been trying to tell you there is no need to have to unmount removable storage.

Well, if you remove the card while it's writing data, obviously that will be corrupt. You cant fix stupid. There is no pill you can take, no classes you can join, stupid is forever

Agree, there isn't much i haven't seen overseeing more that 3,000 employees in the Philly region. The odds of causing any corruption or damage from not unmounting removable storage is less than ...

You dont have to format each time but I format every time I offload images via the reader once I put it back in my camera to clear the card. Formatting each time ensures there is no corruption on ...

Having to un-mount a removable storage device like a flash drive. SD card or CFExpress card or external HDD/SSD is utter nonsense. I'm an IT admin for one of the largest banks in the US and in ...

No chance in that yet as the lawsuit was just posted. Nothing will happen with that till fall probably. Plus, RED is not known to make companies cease and desist, they usually want money and will ...

I am waiting to see how that Sony 200-600mm works on the Z9 with the Megadap ETZ2.1. Mark Smith just posted he is testing it out now. Alex Phan and a couple of others report the Sony 600f4 and the ...

With BIF, you will likely only need the 500PF, you never have too much lens in this genre, it rare. For Aviation, if you are shooting at Air Shows, 500mm is a bit to much lens much of the time, ...

I would do it just like selling in FM. I create an invoice in Paypal and send it to him. You'll obviously need his PayPal email. This forces goods and services to be used and not friends and ...

The answer to your question is that Lexar was sold but the company that bought it kept name intact as to keep the name recognition. This is VERY common practice unless the company buying only ...

Completely agree! Plus the Z lenses are more expensive. The used market is so mature for the F mount lenses it makes very little sense to me to put a Z lens on an F mount body.

That is as optimistic a statement I've heard in years. That lens is becoming a unicorn. With the new megadap 2.1 ETZ adaptor.... you might a well just buy the Sony 200-600 lens

Turn off VR at high shutter if in normal mode on a DSLR. But on the DSLR, if you have a lens like the 500PF that has a sport mode, you can leave that on at any shutter speed. I have never turned ...
