For the D750 users, do you shoot with the Nikkor 200-500 mm lens, if so, what are your impressions of the lens on your D750?

It's a very impressive lens on the D750, and even more impressive on the D500.
Been using this combination for about 6 months, very good results.
I now use that combination and find the quality excellent. You will not be disappointed .If you look at my flickr the last bird photos after the flowers were all taken with this combination.

Interesting. How did get a D500 four months before the release date?

Was attempting to answer the D750 with 200-500 question which is the set up I have.

Conversation is about the D750.

Oops.
Looks like he was probably referring to the D750.
I have used this combo (d750 plus 200-500) for wildlife, abstracts and macro.

I use this combo for magazine assignments, typically shooting from a moving boat to another moving boat. It's VR is outstanding...usually giving me an extra 3 or 4 f/stops. I've also shot moving objects from land using a tripod for support, and its sharpness is very impressive. I had a chance to compare it with Nikon's 500mm f/4, and it was just as sharp, at least to my eyes. I've also used Nikon's 1.4X tele with good results and even got a decent shot with Nikon's 1.7X tele, although they don't officially recommend it. Overall a fantastic lens, especially for the money.
200-500 works great on my D800 and D5300 so it should also work great on D750.
If doing wildlife handheld try M mode set to min f-stop (5.6) and shutter speed of 1/500 with auto-ISO also set to min shutter speed of 1/500. Took me a while to figure that out.
