Squirrel in garden this morning had a go from bedroom window with the new lens on D810 at 400mm VR on 800ISO 1/160sec at f8, hand held. It was quite small in frame and zoomed image in Photoshop to 50% and cropped to this pix.

Very good zones of sharpness in that last image.
See the left side wall OOF, then the buttress to the window super sharp!

That bird is very sharp. What sort of subject distance?

Nice pics Graham. Lens performs well. I know the old version was knocked by many but I found mine OK. With that lens and the 810 who need a D400.

No doubt the 400mm is not quite long enough for birds but the D810 means you can crop images a lot and still retain some quality. Also all Nikon DSLRs in recent times produce good high ISO results that also helps.

Not sure even my 500mm prime would be enough for birds...but would,like to try it with and 810 to see how it crops.
