I concur. This lens is fantastically sharp. This summer I tried to go to as many Jackson Generals baseball games as I could. I managed to get incredible sharp images of outfielders catching the ball (about 400 ft away). On my D500, it worked great! I highly recommend this lens. No need to waste money on Nikon's lens.
If you would like to see images, PM me.

I have used and have many Nikon. I don’t feel that I’ve wasted one bit of my money!

Could you please share the EXIF data with us? Make /model of your camera and lens.
These were shot with a Nikon D4 and a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 lens at a focal length of 105mm.
Exposure was f4 at 1/1250 sec. at ISO 5000. Manual mode with auto WB.
I also use the Nikon D5 to shoot the athletics and other events at Marshall University.

It depends on the type of photography you do. Me I am a photojournalist I must use P. A split second can result in a great photo "The Moment" missed.And in my field there is no re-do.
Exactly what I was trying to convey.

I'm not professional, but, I usually use aperture priority... over the years, it just seems to work better.

I know what you mean. I use aperture priority quite a bit to control the depth of field. I use shutter priority mostly for my sports photos. I set it to the fastest speed as I can and keep an eye on the aperture setting. This works well for sporting events in daylight when the light is changing a lot because of clouds rolling in.

Besides pros want to work as little as possible. There is no joy in the work. Get it done and get paid.
That's a very insulting remark. I have worked as a professional photographer for over 40 years. I use a combination of manual and the various auto modes on my D4and D5 cameras, mostly using one or the other of the auto modes because I have taken the time to learn to use them. I have taken the time to learn about exposure and white balance and getting the image right in the camera, not the lazy route thinking it doesn't matter cause I can always fix it later on the computer. I get great joy and satisfaction in the work I do. I know many professionals that work very hard, often long hours in all kinds of conditions and they take great pride in the images they produce. If I wanted a job where i "get it done and get paid" it would not be in photography. To make the remarks you made shows you know little about the profession of photography.

No surprise as we shoot much the same thing. I now am using the D850 as my second camera and the D500 for my third. I'll use a 14-24 or a 20 upon occasion as my wide and every once in a while the off-brand, manual focus 8mm DX I bought for venue shots. Ain't PP grand?
How does the 850 do in low light? I have read that it is very good, but have not had the chance to handle on yet. I would love to have a 10 or 8mm for venue shots.
BTW: I work as the university photographer at Marshall University. a staff of one, i handle all the photo needs of the university, including sports.

I agree. I too have been shooting sports as a university photographer for 40 years now. For football I use a D5 and a D4 with a Nikon 400 2.8 on one and a Nikon 70-200 2.8 on the other with a 17-35 2.8 handy. I also will for daytime games, use the Nikon 200-400 f4. I use these for baseball, softball, and soccer. For basketball I will use the 70-200 and the Nikon 300 2.8 as well as the wide lens. This also works well for volleyball, swimming and track.

Come up to Pointe Pleasent and check out the Mothman statue.
I have seen the mothman statue several times. I’m old enough to remember when he was in the area and when the bridge fell. Also, a few years ago, my daughter was the Battle Days Festival queen, so we spend some time there.

Beautiful set! I live 30 minutes away and have never seen a greater depiction of the memorial. The black and white is my favorite.
Thanks! Ever so often, when things are a little quiet, I will go to the fountain and just see what the light is like and look at the angles.
