I would say the 500mm is not the best for BIF I think your 300mm +tc would be easer to use being lighter Eric.

What about an X2? Loosing two stops compared with one isn't the end of the world with a D500... Or is it?

As I said you only lose 1 stop with the new x1.4 Nikon this again today is with it + 80-400 at 400mm with the D850 is 560mm. Sorry only a Dunnock today but better light so this is 2500 ISO. Attachment: _DSC0275 Dunnock.jpg (Downloaded 46 times)

Virtually impossible to differentiate between sexes outside of breeding season but the the male has a bit more grey intensity.....and chases the other one.  I had two doing exactly that outside my window today....but far too excited to standstill long enough to get camera out.

Spent three hours on Farlington Marsh in hope waders may come in with rising tide but all I saw were there Redshanks. D850 with 400-80mm at 400mm plus x1.4, good light. No Brent Geese of two weeks ago must have moved up North as wind has at last moved back to SW. This time next month will be in your part of world Eric so hope more birds on the Wash! In mean time getting in as much practice as I can with the long lenses and local birds. Attachment: DSC0287 Redshanks.jpg (Downloaded 36 times)

These warm southerly are going to speed up migration over next few days....but got busy week next week so not going to be able to get out with camera.  Although a day behind, worth monitoring this site.... http://www.norfolkbirds.com/News.aspx

If a TC doesn't give a better image than a crop from the lense, it rather a waste. Considering the light loss meaning a slower shutter speed with a longer focal length has put me off using them in most cases. One place I like a 1.4 TC is on my Samyang 8mm fish eye, where it gives a full frame DX image instead of the rounded normal view.
