Hi, been shooting wildlife for a few years with Pentax. I've built up a decent lens collection while bemoaned the AF tracking and slow FPS for all that time. I'm now at the stage where I'm daft enough to spend more money for little gains.
So, I'm awaiting delivery of a D500. It will initially be used with a 200-500 which has already been delivered, as has a 3rd party grip. Look in time to add to this with long primes (but I figured a zoom never comes in wrong anyway).
So, what I'm hoping for is that some of you Nikon guys can advise as to preferred settings. Primarily thinking AF, and metering, but maybe there are other things I need to change from the factory settings too, to get the best out of it.
Hoping to have it in time to try the kites in Dumfries this weekend. If not it will be the rut at Studley Royal the following weekend.
cheers
