Other than long range wildlife photos and sporting events,.... how do you use your 500/600 mm lens?
Thanks in advance.

Action sports. Visual compression (as in I want the moon to appear really large relative to a building.)

If you keep it in your bag, then your bag, hanging on your tripod, will stabilize your still photos much better.
A long lens is great for sunsets with a lighthouse or other object in the near background. a sunset behind a lighthouse with a 600 will yield a sun three times as large when compared to the light house. Because you move three times as far from the light house, and your distance to the sun doesn't change.

Well, "your distance to the sun doesn't change" significantly

I often use mine for flower close-ups. It is not a macro but it does a fine job if done correctly.

Thks for the replies, as I am trying to decide whether or not to add a telephoto to my lens inventory. I don't typically look for wildlife or sporting events images....mostly landscape or other fixed structure compositions. I have a d300s, 35, 18-55, 18-200, and 70-300. So trying to see where to go. Thanks again.

Purchasing gear is not 'where to go' in my opinion. You already have covered most to the lens range except for the long range. The D300s is a great camera. Upgrade it to a D500 and you have your 'long range lens' (cropping) but better yet an incredible camera that would benefit from having all these lenses.
Noite that 'cropping' does not replace the perspective correction of a long telephoto.
Sorry for that 'expensive' answer but I really do not see the point of a long lens for your photography.

^^^^ not a all, which is why I started this topic...I have never owned a "super telephoto", so I am looking for practical info... funny you mentioned the the D500, as I have also been looking in that direction! Still do not understand the difference between D300s and D500...

Day and night. The D500 is the 'upgrade' from the D300s, really a brand new camera with so many advances that they really are not comparable. I had a D300 and, well...
Check this D500 thread I created last December.

With a D810 I can crop an image down to 25% of the original image and still get a crisp, richly detailed image. I did a comparison with a D500 and found the image quality better with the D810. I use a 600mm F4 and a Sigma Sport 150-600 with good results from both.

Compresses roadways in a neat way. Also compresses in landscape imaging, really interesting views.

Can/would you please post an image example of this compressed landscape. Thanks in advance.
