Nice set of pictures Eric and you seem to have done alright with what you were using.
Thanks Iain. As you know it all depends on how close you can get to minimise cropping loss of detail.
I think a 500mm lens would have been better for the yellowlegs because lighting was dull... so ISO high. Cropping in those situations always tends to result in less than ideal clarity.
Having said that, there wa a guy in the hide with an 800mm and he kept saying.."it's too close for me now".
Personally I would love a 500mm with the integral switchable 1.4x tc. I think with the D500 that would be a good flexible and fast combination.
Really don't understand Nikon just fitting that feature to a zoom lens.
