I dont use the 300mm prime much as its quite restrictive when photography aircraft. However, yesterday, I took it along to RAF Leeming.
It was a beautiful day, nice and sunny with loads of light. I mainly used the 200-500mm and it was attached to my D500.
I wasnt getting good results so decided to try the 300mm prime.
What a difference it made.
I found the 200-500mm results to be quite poor. Its a brand new lens, but i find im binning most of the shots due to focus or movement issues. Maybe its just my poor handling of it but it looks like its shaky.
Most shots look like they have a bit of ghosting. See shots below for comparison. Shot 1 is the 300mm, shot 2 is at 500mm. Both ISO 160, F5.6, 1/3200. SOOC.
