Hi all

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?

Is this just magnification of pixel size limitation?
