Well I managed to extract my wallet from my pocket and the wife hand and bought a Nikon 200-500mm F5.6 lens. I've not had much chance to try it yet as it is persistalating down here, hopefully be out tomorrow testing.

No doubt many will be very interested to hear your impressions Iain, A few images would be good, even of brick walls!

I'd read that article before buying mine and checked the affected serial numbers. The one I've got is outside the affected batch. If it stops raining here before the light goes I might get some brick wall shots.

Iain, You are going to love this lens. I have one now for a few months. the only thing didn't like was the tripod mounting. Cleared that up by setting foot off center to fit in the palm of my hand. It works great. The print is full frame at a distance of 200 ft with a TC II on it. http://cl.ly/2g2A1v213q3h Hope link works.

Very jealous. I'm still trying to decide if to buy a D500 with the 200-500 or the Fuji XPro2 with the 100-400 and x1.4 Works out the same sort of money but the Fuji is lighter but probably the Nikon is faster AF and heavier. Please post so e pictures when you get some (not of kingfishers...  )
