New Lens

My 500 PF came in yesterday, July 1, 2020. Thought a few shots were in order, so Itook it out for a test drive, connected to my D500. Terrible day-windy, overcast, drizzle at times. Still found some bees willing to be my subjects as long as flowers were available. They were and are!
1/1600-1/2000, f5.6, ISO not over 1000. Tripod and handheld. This lens is wonderfully light. The 10 foot minimum focus distance is something I have to take into consideration when shooting insects.
View in Download. The colors are rich!
Enjoy!

A keeper for sure.
Yes. The light weight over the 200-500 makes this lens just right for me. The 10 minimum focus distance is something I must work through.

Excellent set, Timothy, the last one is a show stopper.
Thanx for viewing. Check Out Bee Butts. The last there is really nice...

I have a similar conundrum with my EF 400mm f/5.8. Popped in 50mm extension tube helped a bit but not much.

You must be very very pleased with that lens 
Thanx for viewing. So far yes. Minimum focus distance will be something to work through. The weight savings over the 200-500 is substantial.
