I agree they are a bit in your face.

I think the Nikon 200-500 AFS VR is probably one of my best purchases. I resisted the 80-400 as the original lens was somewhat soft. This new version however seems to be top notch. I think I need to go and sell my Nikon 400mm f2.8 AFS and D3S, I think I will trade it on for the next Fuji body I get which will be either Fuji X-H1 or XT4. The XT4 is rumoured to have IBIS (In Body Image Stabilisation), and with my Z7, D850 and D500 my Nikon system is perfect. I am very impressed by the Z7 with its IBIS, so much better and more useful than VR.

I have resisted any trade ins of late because WEX (who are my nearest dealer) don't give you cash for the equipment...you have to take the full value as a PX. I discovered Harrison's do! In fact they give the same valuation for a trade in or a cash purchase! The quotes are the same as WEX and much better than the nett amount you would get from eBay. May be doing some thinning out soon myself.

that Harrisons link looks interesting ,a good heads up ... anyway back on thread we had gale force winds on the Irish Sea and the dee estuary yesterday , and as I was driving to my venue (which lasted 15 minutes after arrival due to the winds) I spotted this kestrel in its usual lamp post lookout . pulled the car over and it took off hunting but was struggling against the wind this meant it was hovering at just above head height and allowed a very close approach pleased with the results . although this 15fps does tend to run away with you still got around 50 shots to edit if I can be bothered .
