That's my concern. I won't commit the necessary cash for 500mm or 600mm primes and without doing that, I fear the D850 quality advantage won't be realised.

I feel the D500 may still be my preferred route for long range photography.

o.O


I keep hearing that , but I`ve found that the better the camera is, the better the lens gets , my ancient 55mm/f1.2 was never a champion at anything , but on the D3S/X when selecting the right profile , it delivers sharp, punchy pics. with good color rendition , even wide-open , so perhaps a software thing then....when everything clicks , overall quality improves tremendously,..there are several here who shoot with " classic " lenses,and perhaps have made the same experiences ?


I think that is a truth as a good lens will perform well but there is a limit but I dont know where this limit is!
