Whole file as requested JK. As stated I would say 50% used for finished pix. By way this was taken using single point focus it always give sharpest pix with 9 point you do get images as sharp but you also get some that are only OK! The Avcoet was moving quite fast but in one direction so could be tracked during the burst of about 6 pixs. Attachment: _DSC1863.jpg (Downloaded 74 times)

This was hand held 1/1600 sec at f10 400 ISO and this is a bit closer to camera so is perhaps 50% of total frame and makes a good quality A3+. (JK tell me when you have had enough of this saga!) Lovely image Graham...keep 'em coming.

The D5 hoves into sight in January 2016. http://nikonrumors.com/category/nikon-d5/ Interesting. I missed out on the F4 and then went digital. I missed out on the D4 will I go for a D5. I actually doubt it.

"Now we are teenagers" Lock on time with auto focus seems to be the main problem with this bird photography. My set up works well with nearly static shots like this but flight pix are another story. It's all about focus lock on time, and also I am told using the x1.4 with my 400-80mm lens slows it down even more. Also I now use at least 1/1600sec shutter speed even if I have to push ISO. As you all saw my early tests proved that with static shots my set up is pin sharp. I never need or use VR, waders heads are moving all time so fast shutter is vital. I have met lots of very serious bird photographers this last three months and they all use long prime Nikon or Canon lenses. Many think nothing of having two or even three long prime lenses and at least 2 top camera bodies. As and RPS friend said to me the other day it is a rich man's game! I am think very seriously about a Nikon 500mm f4 AF-S but not bothered with VR as I use fast shutter all the time now. Perhaps a good 2nd hand one?

Have taken the plunge at £5700: x1 New AF-S Nikkor 500mm f4 ED VD should be with me this week. Did not trade in my 80-400 as LCE only offered me much less than 1/2 and it was new Jan this year! I did not go for the new FL one as it is over £8000 and reports are that yes tiny bit lighter but not going to give seriously better pix, also they do not have any!

Just back from a wet 3 weeks in Ireland. I took the 80-400mm plus 1.4 converter as it is more compact than my super new 500mm also did not want to risk the new lens in locked car etc! To amuse myself on several wet days in our holiday cottage on W Coast I had a go at birds on the feeder in the garden out of the window. They were so tame I moved the feeder to 15 feet and just took all pix I wanted to hone my bird skills. Several new things JK said VR no use with long lenses so I did tests as light was poor a lot of the time. Still got pin sharp hand holding with VR 1/125 sec at 650mm. So was then able to cut down high ISO and also stop down more. After three days of wet weather days at the window I was getting 70% good results only failures were birds moving their heads. So happy with this lens and converter that I am not going to sell it!! Watch this space I will soon post some results from my new 500mm F4 AF-S. So at least I now know I can now trust VR with slow shutter speeds! Attachment: Greattit2023s.jpg (Downloaded 39 times)

The Avocets have left our local Titchfied Haven 4 weeks ago so today I followed them to Poole Harbour they are up to 2000 overwinter here. They were asleep waiting for tide to go out exposing the vast feeding area of mud flats. At last they took off and gave me a fine flying display and this is one of 25 shots I got. Still using the 80-400 plus x1.4 extender. This was 1/1600 sec with 9 point focusing. Attachment: Avocets2343.jpg (Downloaded 29 times)
