National,Geographic shoot .. Hawaiian Gecko on location ..

Dr.Nikon Loc: Honolulu Hawaii
 
Took the D850 out for its first trial run on Sunday at a single Bird of Paradise at the Bunch Bowl of the Pacific on Sunday ...two hours at one plant and waaalaaa..

The data will surprise you .. a lot of you .. a D850 paired to a 200-500 5.6 Nikon ... no .. but what about the 105.. 1.4..1.8 ..or the 85mm ..or the 24-70 ..or the 14-24 ..yes I have them all.., but ...,what about a prime macro ... and what about 500mm .. didn’t use the sweet spot of that 200-500 lens .., say 320mm 410mm ..or ..

And a lot of you getting the new D850 and are wondering about a cheap 200-500 / 5.6 ...why .., it’s not considered a prime ...well.., well..., ya .. well what ..

You still want a Sigma.., go,ahead ...

I think that Dr.Nikon is pointing to the high quality of the lens in a semi-macro closeup setting at maximum zoom that no one expects from it. Having been considering the Sigma and Tamron 150-600 lenses, he just convinced me to go with the Nikon. FABULOUS SHOT!

Good shot but color seems just too intense.

Just love that gecko. He sure adds to that bird of paradise. The untouched photo is magnificent -- am impressed with the D850.

After much practice, I'm finally having better luck with the same combo, but nothing like that spectacular image. You've redeemed my faith in that lens!
