The D200 in my hands was not able to be used past ISO1250/1600.
The D3 was happy up to ISO3200 with the occasional push +1EV.

One from the 200-500 and D4

It looks a little soft on here again but is pin sharp.

Iain...nice shot. What exp comp did you use to get the underside of the kite so well lit? Has the bird got a transmitter aerial or is it just a twig sticking out of its right wing?

I used +0.7 and brought the rest back in LR. It is a transmitter aerial she was released in the second year which was 05 and she was named Red Arrow, she been mating with Chester the male bird for the last 8 year and nesting in the same place.

The 200-500 seems to handle these type of shots very well. I have been using my D300S.

I am finding that +1.0-0.7 works well, where with other lenses it tends to be +1.7-2.0 compensation is required.

It does but I find on the D7200 it needs about 1.3.

Eric. I'm very impress with the lens.

Here is a sample of a couple of my pictures from the D300S with the 200-500.
1:1 crops in LR6.51
Exposure was unadjusted from my normal settings but the camera/lens combo seemed to cope well considering the exposure is for normal shooting not against the light.
