managed to find a willing model today in the shape of a buzzard ,all photos taken from my car window parked in a lay-by .it really shows the potential of this set up first shot taken with the d300s with a 300mm lens distance to subject 30metres or 98 feet .please also note the shutter of the V1 is totally silent so does not spook birds like some dslr's do .first three shots are full frame images ,the last two cropped .my personal choice is with the cropped image taken at 810mm with the bare 300-f4buteo 1 300mm by black fox wildlife photography, on Flickr
buteo 2 @ 810mm by black fox wildlife photography, on Flickrnikon v1 +300mm f4 =810mm focal length
buteo 3 @ 1134mm by black fox wildlife photography, on Flickr

crop of 810mm image by black fox wildlife photography, on Flickrmy personal favourite taken from the 810mm image although a slightly larger crop it does show how a t.c degrades the image .but considering the available light at the moment the potential for this rig is enormous IMHOthe black fox Posts: 630Joined: Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:34 pmTopRe: nikon V1 + FT1
just for a bit of extra info this buzzard is actually sat behind the bushes on the fence,the light (diffused sunlight ) is in actual fact coming from the right of the picture putting the bird in the shade in real terms
That's very impressive Jeff.
Not just the quality of the V1 combo but the technique to capture a perching buzzard without spooking it.
Seriously wondering if the Nikon is a better option than the Fuji I was considering!
