Sorry did not put in tech spec for latest pix above: Lens plus 1.4 converter at 550mm 1/3 of full frame used. Cloudy bright Exp: 1/1600 sec f10 400 ISO. 9 Point Autofocus on cont tracking. Motor drive on fastest settings. This shot was 2nd of 10 shot burst, other shots were all as sharp but not so interesting.So I'm hand holding it much better now I think my movie work is helping me pan and keep up with the birds.

As for spending all that money (I would also need a new D4s body as well taking cost up to £12000 even taking off VAT it is still £10,000!!) and humping a 3 kg lens plus D4s or perhaps D5 body at 75 yrs old is not going to be much fun. For a bit I shall stick with what I've got as landscape and still life are my main interest and I'M very well set up for that.
