Can see what you mean, would need a much bigger post. How do you find the Sigma 150-600mm Iain? It seems pretty sharp and has nice bokeh, at least in the second image, not bad in the first. With the DX it's the equivalent of 750mm which is beginning to be useful for birds. Are you still finding you have to crop heavily?

Focus is quite quick on the D500 and should be good on your D3. On the D500 it gives a FOV of 900mm, 600mm x the 1.5 crop so really good for birds except for the ones that know what size lens you have on and move back 20 feet.

Whoops! my maths are a bit out, 900 of course, I must have been thinking 500mm.  Thanks for that, interesting. Certainly gives plenty of working distance for the insects!

I had a nightingale singing in a tree, 4ft outside my caravan window this morning... at 5am. I opened the blind to tell it to b@gger off and it clearly knew what I wanted it to do. If it's there tomorrow....I will probable do the same, as I am not my sharpest at 5am after a few beers the night before.
