Two from this evening

Well only getting finches these days in my front yard, but I did see a hummingbird near my feeder so hopefully they will start coming soon.
Here are two finches from this evening shot with the D2X and the 300 f4 with 1.4 tele and SB800 flash. Mounted on a gitzo 1325 tripod and Markins head with sidekick.
Boy this cameras resolution is fantastic.

Gordon I am "testing it out"   And have the opportunity to get a great deal, so I am giving it a workout, thanks for looking

 

It is an incredible combo and the detail that you can get with the X is awesome.
Thanks for looking

Thanks for looking this was shot with the HSC on, one of the features I was very interested in the D2X for. I was shootign stright TTL/FP with these shots it was kinda dark so I need the addtional light

 

Thanks Bryan I appreciate it

 

Thanks for takign the time to look and comment

 

It works well i would recommend the kirk replacement collar since the foot is arca and long u have to slide the mount further up to get the proper balance sure it would work better with the 2.8 version but performs well with the f4 version

 

Thanks for the kind words
It is a bigger step from the D100 to the D2X than from the D2h but well worth the learning curve seems like this is going to do one hell of a job
