Hi Greg. Congratulations on three great shots. I see they are all at 600mm, and very sharp. I have the Tamron 200 to 500mm and think it's a nice lens but could not get sharp photos at full zoom. About 425 to 450 was the best I could get from it. I've just ordered the Nikon f5.6 200 to 500mm. Looking forward to trying 500mm full zoom shots with results close to what you have shown us.
Chief, I really appreciate you stopping by and leaving such great comments. I bought the lens for my FF 6D Vii to get the reach I lost with an 80D on a shorter lens, and this is the second G2 I have own. I used my 80D to see how it would perform at an equivalent size of 960mm and I will keep it for as long as I can take photos. From what I have seen from other posters that use the Nikon 200-500mm you will become in love with it. I have the Canon 100-400mm Vii which, even shorter, a similar lens in ability.
