On the D-810 here.
Found it in very nice shape at a price I could live with.
Nikkor 50mm f2 at right for size comparison.
Depth of field scale is quite narrow, and just barely hints at the shallow focus depth of this lens.
At f5.6. Subject distance is about 25 feet.
Note short zone of focus here.
About 150 yards, I think. Un-cropped.
There's a 50% crop of the above image.
Vibration from the cat back-hoe's big diesel is apparent here.
Sharpness test at f8, IIRC.
The 1/250 sec shutter speed is obviously a little too slow for a lens this long.
95-100% crop.
60% crop of a couple of raven's nests at about 250 yds.
I think I am going to be in for some nice imagery with this.
A mono-pod, or a tripod will help a lot.
I also have to get an eye-cup for the D-810's view-finder.
I am getting a lot of snow glare onto the eye-piece, and it becomes a problem with long lenses.
I really like this lens, despite all the bulk and weight.
Now to find a slightly bigger bag, and a soft case for the lens...

Doc Sharptail
