If filling the trame seems to worry you with the D850 please look again at my first pix in the birding blog. The blow up of the greenfinch pix produced a noise free 16x20 exhibition quality print! I was a bit unhappy about the f5.6 of the new lens compared to the f4 of the big 500mm but to get enough DOF you need to work at least with f8 if not f11.
My two weeks in Spain with the D850 and my 80-400mm lens plus x1.4 that starts at f5.6 also proved that the D850 can hack spot on focus with moving birds, QED?
I just hope I can get a reasonable price for my as new little used 500mm. I'm asking just under £4000.00 it cost £6000 2.5 yrs ago. LCE in Southampton hope to do a deal with me with the new lens and take 500mm, they will phone me back shortly.
