Re: "Official" Nikon 500 f/5.6E PF Discussion and Image Thread
Not that I would dream of rubbing it in for those still waiting, I took delivery of my new 500PF
Here side by side next to my 70-200E f/2.8 very similar in size and weight, this will make a great walking/ birding lens granting a 750mm f5.6 (FOV) on a DX body ......very cool
Have found AF quite fast, sure one cannot possibly compare it to my lightening AF fast 400 2.8E or 70-200E and should never have even thought it would, but found it faster than my 300PF, and kills the 200-500 (as it should) plus let's not forget once you have the 8M limiter set it's fast indeed and still makes for a perfect BIF lens, it just rocks on my D5 I can tell you!
Off to Botswana on the 26th to put it through its paces
Cheers
