Thank you Karen. I use my D500 for BIF and Wildlife paired with the 500 PF though dealing with crop quality of the D500 I have found so far the D850 clearly is the winner.Very nice shots!! You will LOVE the D850! I sure do! And just yesterday I got a used 500 mm PF. Today I used the PF on my D5.....but I did some heavy cropping. Tomorrow I will give my D850 a chance to pair with the 500mm PF.
The AF acquisition and tracking are just a little bit slower than the D5!!!! Dynamic range and fine details are awesome.
ENJOY!
Thanks Bill! What I have discovered very quickly is the 850 really fills those QXD and SD cards quickly. I’ll need to pick up a few more Cards before my September trip to Wyoming. For Landscape I’m thinking 24-70 f2.8 and my 16-35 f4 will work well for the Fall Colors.Nice shots Vern. D850/500pf is an amazing combo.
...and maybe the 70-200..... I use it more for landscapes than anything. And occasionally it is handy to capture details in architecture.Thanks Bill!

Oh no.... that means I’ll have to run out and buy 70-200 f2.8 VR II version, though the f4 might be the low cost option....and maybe the 70-200..... I use it more for landscapes than anything. And occasionally it is handy to capture details in architecture.

I called and checked the price of the 70 - 200 2.8 E FL ED today at my favorite / local Nikon Dealer and there was a savings of $450.00 or 23% drop in price since last weeks listing on Nikon's USA Web Site. I was thinking of the F4 Version and doing my home work but there was no price reduction for the F4 at this time. So at that savings the 70 - 200 E Version is now on my D850. Money saved might be used for the 1.4 Teleconverter.Nice stuff, Vern. Yup, 70-200 for landscapes is fabulous. The F/4 is perfect.
Thank you Randy, I have to say though the 70-200 E was recently purchased and that combo definitely has the wow factor as well.Nice set
Great combo
