In some way I think theses extra focus buttons round end of the new lens may be one too many functions to put you off getting the pix! Tell me about it! I've considered learning to play the clarinet....so ALL my fingers can help out on the function buttons.

Like the time I was filming a steam loco sun came out and white steam was back lit so I hit function button to bring in 'crush highlights a bit' and wrong button colour broadcast bars came up, great shot lost!

Fox in our road this morning very dull light The new lens & x1.4 on D850 25% of image and 1/800 sec wide open at F8 2500 ISO and still bit uinderexposed so needed to lift by 2 stops in Photoshop.Focus locked on very quickly now got hang of settings single focus spot on top of head, hand held very good balance could work with this weight of kit all day even at 78 yrs old! At least it proves focus is on subject as road unsharp front and back. Took about 3 before it saw me at upstairs window. Attachment: Fox2001NR.jpg (Downloaded 32 times)

This lens is working well now, very dull again this morning and this is 25% of the D850 full frame, the 500mm lens with x1.4, hand held 1/250 sec f11 VR on ISO 1600. I think this is about same as my big 500mm F4 so progress is good still very early days.Focus is spot on single point on eye and in dull light camera locked on at once.

I still don't think that lens is good enough for you Graham. I would recommend boxing it up and posting it to Norfolk.....I'm not so bothered about sharp images so will give you a fair price for it.
