In the middle of my hols on a flaky wlan so no pics.
Thought someone might be interested. I took to bodies with me (D4 and D800E) with the main target being insect macro and birding.
If anyone is having difficulties deciding where to invest their hard-earned pennies ....
The ration D4:D800E shots to date is2:1.
Macro is with with Nikkor 200 on D4 or Sigma 150 on D4/D800E
Birding with 300 f4 +/- 1.7 TC on D4 or D800E.
The D4/300/1.7 TC combination is very much better that the the D800E in DX mode with 300 (and infinitely better that 300 + TC). Anyone care to explain this? All at greater that 1/2000 so probably not a real technique/technical issue.
More interesting, when I have taken just one body - if anyone knows the plain de Crau in Provence, you understand why just one body - the it is always the D4.
The Nikkor 200 just flies on the D4 ... ISo 1600, 3200 is no problem and f 10 - f22 at 1/1200-1/2000 is easy.
Good to know what anyone else is finding. Will post when i am not relying on French wlan at 2 kB/sec
