It is listed in the Nikon instruction sheet as able to be used with about 18 AF-S modern lenses starting at 105mm macro ending at my 80-400mm but including the full range of big long latest lenses 300mm 400mm 500mm 60mm & 800mm They only include full AF-S so perhaps will not work as well with all the older lenses? I must be getting old one of my RPS Workshop Students, Robert Bracher took this pix of me , it came 1st in a comp at his local camera club! Attachment: Graham Whistler 001.jpg (Downloaded 51 times)

Shame you are not local so you could try for yourself. Perhaps WEX have both items in stock and let you take some pictuters?

Just returned from 10 days in East Anglia. I took these Black Tailed Godwits on the River Stour Estuary near Manningtree, part of a group of about 60 feeding as the tide came in wonderful sight! I took at least 25 shots with my Nikon D810, this was one of the better pictures as they came closer to me. Lens was 550mm (with converter) 1/640sec at f10 ISO 400 cloudy bright conditions. Great sight when they all took off but failed to get a sharp pix of this! Attachment: Godwits0722.jpg (Downloaded 33 times)

Lovely sight in breeding plumage. Strange effect on the water surface though, Graham. It looks 'grainy'??

No just the tide comes up very fast and stirs up the mud. That is why the birds are there conditions produce lots of quick good food for them! (I was shooting in good light and only 400 ISO, exposure was spot on no after correction needed.)

Yesterday out with my 80-400 plus converter but even with 550mm could not get very close to these Avocets with two young in my local reserve Titchfield Haven. This is still about 1/3 of the D810 full frame! Doing much better with focus now expanded to 11 hotspots on auto focus. Attachment: Avosets with young.jpg (Downloaded 24 times)

This is still about 1/3 of the D810 full frame! You have to make a few decisions when it comes to bird photography... Am I happy with habitat bird shots, where the bird is shown in its surroundings? If so, using 500mm and public hides may be sufficient. Do I want full frame, see the mites on its back, images? If so, you need big lenses AND STILL some extra local knowledge to get closer than your average hide. You also need time and patience...and maybe specialist supports to cope with toting lots of heavy equipment.......  Attachment: image.jpg (Downloaded 20 times)

That could only be a photographer from USA! "AND STILL some extra local knowledge to get closer than your average hide," I agree with that Eric 100%. Even a 1000mm lens would not have given me a full frame of a single bird at the distance those Avocets were! When in France a few weeks ago there were a big group of Avocets on one of the salt flats and we very slowly walked closer taking cover but at 200 yds they were off! I am new to this type of photography but am greatly enjoying the fun and challenge of it! I now am using 11 points of focus setting rather my former single one for birds and am getting far better more pin sharp results. Birds in the air are another story!
