what shutter speed did you use for the bob fly past ?
good shots apart from the props !
we have all done it
what do you guys use to reduce noise in post processing ?
Depends on the image. If I have to put the ISO pretty high, and I can see it in the image, I'll use it, but not by default.what do you guys use to reduce noise in post processing ?
So, I get my D500 tomorrow. I used to do a lot of long lens work, mainly aviation back when I shot Canon and used a 5DIII and then a 7DII.
But, I missed having a camera that was up for it and on it's toes with frame rate and autofocus if that makes any sense. By adding the D500 hopefully I will have something different which will allow me to do aviation photography again, give me some different focal lengths with my existing lenses and I have a camera as a backup on the off chance the worst happens to still take landscape pictures with. Really looking forward to popping the 70-200 F4 VR onto the D500 and shooting some frames off now...
Have I made the right choice? Will I get carried away and want a longer lens again!
Has anyone got a raw file that they could send me taken with a 200-500.
Ideally at 500mm with the subject a fair distance away
Please

if you get some files can you let me know your findings as i keep debating doing the same
From what I have seen, it's a smashing lens M8.Thank you for all those that sent me raw files. After lab testing anazlying and looking into different aspects I've decided I'm going to pull the trigger on the 200-500. Hopefully i won't get a duff one. I'll keep you updated once it's here and had a better chance to use it.
lets hope soFrom what I have seen, it's a smashing lens M8.

Sorry I couldn’t resist. The first thing I do is turn the dam radio off and also wait until the missus is out shopping ..

Hope there is something there that might help
I too may look at getting a grip but tbh, I find the D500 & 200-500 too heavy to shoot in any other orientation apart from landscape. I would get a grip for use when I have my 16-80 fitted.Hi folks,
I’m (im)patiently waiting for delivery of a new D500 and Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6.
I’m thinking a battery grip makes sense - does anyone have any suggestions for a good non oem grip, or does it make sense to pay that small fortune for a genuine one?
Thanks in anticipation.

I took the plunge last year - moving from the Tamron 150-600 and although the AF might be a touch slower - I find consistency much better and I get some cracking results. I would say though, that AF fine tuning is worthwhile. My results were a little soft until I performed an AF fine tune and now I'm getting closer to critical focus at 100%
I bought a Neewar copy off eBay and have been very happy with it when I have used it. £33, a fraction (less than 10%) of the cost Nikon try and get away with charging. For some it is original Nikon only, and it is in theory better built, and if you can stomach Nikon charge, then enjoy yourself, but I have had copy for the D300S, and now the D500, and they have worked flawlessly.
Ditto the Meike version.
Using a Neewer battery grip, for my D500, which works flawlessly. Unfortunately, the Neewer batteries don't work with the D500, but work fine with the D610.
I've got the neewer version and it's perfectly fine.
The batteries that come with it cause the camera to lock up when I shoot more than 6 shots on rapid fire. If I do small bursts of 2 or 3 then it's no issue. The remote works perfectly thou.
Noted - I've ordered batteries from a different source who confirm they are fully compatible with the D500.
Which source and what price did you pay for the batteries? If you don't mind me asking
That's a good price lets us know how you get on with them
Going to sort that in the morning whilst everyone is still in bed lolYou'll love it, but might need to AF fine tune

Hi GIL
at what length did you fine tune your 200-500 ? did you fine tune using the camera fine tune program? or a 3rd party
i also have the d500 and 200-500 and find its a great combo
After watching some videos on it. Basically the way I've done it on other lenses is do the test 12 times loose the highest and lowest and get the middle figure. Seems yo have worked so farNot sure how you've found with the D500 auto AF fine tune function but I'm a bit ambivalent about it. I'm still getting much more consistent results using "dot tune".
