I wouldn't, you'll see about a million flaws if you doWasn't pixel peeping honest

Interested to hear your thoughts, particularly wide open and the AF.Got it with me now. Doesn't look too special but will see.
And it will be up for sale soon... and indeed there is no box (yes same person), but will make one for it haha
Way out of my budget!

Good man . I look forward to seeing your pics with it.I bit the bullet today and paid for the Tamron 150-600 G2 grey market. [emoji33]

So it appears that Sony have stopped supplying certain sensors to other manufacturers (probably old news ), I wonder if this means that we will see lower DR (a la D5) and poorer noise handling in future Nikons? Maybe this is why the D820 and D760 have taken so long to come out. I think they need to make sure sensor performance is top notch (which I'm pretty sure it will be) otherwise they'll fall even further behind Canon. Whether it'll be an improvement on current Nikons is very doubtful though.
As Nikon uses Sony sensors in its cameras it seems likely that the D820 (also possibly called the D850) will have a 42MP sensor or as a recent rumor on Nikon Rumors suggests, 46MP, although perhaps there will be a new, higher-resolution chip – Samsung is claimed to have developed a full-frame sensor, and if the rumors are true that Nikon has bought Samsung's camera technology, we could be in for a surprise.
Interested to see what you think. It's an odd lens, in that it hasn't really got much of a following from many pros. There's a few on here that like it but in general, it's largely not been taken up.
Its going to be my next lens but that won't be until next year now unless six numbers come up soon.
i dont think ive seen" rumor, possibly, perhaps and suggests etc." used so much in one sentence. i am surprised they didn't add a winking smiley to really cover themselves.Maybe they`re gonna use Samsung FF sensors ...

After reading that article it makes a lot more sense. I personally don't feel that is wildlife photography but that's my take on it all. Yes he maybe an award winning photographer but with the smell baiting of camera boxes he is no better than these heroes that use kingfisher dive pools and claim that have a perfect kingfisher dive shot.David Yarrow uses the 58mm 1.4 for wildlife along with the 24mm 1.4 and 35mm 1.4. It turns out for a longer focal length he only uses the 200mm f2 or 300mm f2.8. His motto seems to be 'you have to be close or there's no point'. I remember him saying this at his talk last year at the Photography Show (I didn't see him this year) and I thought it was crazy he used 24-54mm instead of the long focal lengths most wildlife photographers crave. I've taken this on board since and have to say Ive started to love using my 70-200 for wildlife (it isn't in his ball park of 24-58mm) to the point where it's probably used more than my 200-400.
If you are interested this is quite a nice write up from him:

That's all well and good if you get the opportunity, but many of us are not fortunate enough to get the same opportunities and so reach is the only option. I have to say though I prefer the wider angle shots for safaris etc as it's great to get them in context rather than a close up 'portrait' which could well have been taken at a zoo. I'm with Kingo too, I'm not a big fan of 'staged' wildlife shots.David Yarrow uses the 58mm 1.4 for wildlife along with the 24mm 1.4 and 35mm 1.4.

One of the things I wanted to give a go now that I have the laptop is tethering. Only read up a little but some reports say that the D750 tethered is poor due to USB2. So, who has tried it and what's the best solution? Maybe @Sir SR has done so?

You sure It will soon be weed dance time, I need to try my local lake again this year. Hopefully I will have much better luck this time.
I do it all the time using SmartShooter. Info here: https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/smartshooter-tethering-software.623624/#post-7732381
Tethering does flatten batteries more quickly than usual - you'd probably want 2 or 3 for an all day shoot.
Not going to take this 58mm out of the house! Not worth the risk not being mine lol.
Im going to do some tests at home and share with you lovely folk.
Why does your mate have all these exotic, top end lenses (unboxed obvs) and then sells them? It seems like there's one ever week or so! I wish I had his kinda money, I'm struggling to justify the 50mm
Seen some pics from previous boxing events that I'll be shooting, in a very dimly lit room with no specific light on the ring, going to be a tough one I think.
4 ocf in each corner will sort that [emoji6]Seen some pics from previous boxing events that I'll be shooting, in a very dimly lit room with no specific light on the ring, going to be a tough one I think.
Will be taking both 24-70mm f2.8 and 70-200mm f2.8. Will mainly use the 24-70mm but also hoping to get some close ups. Looking at previous events the pics won't be good, just a ring in the middle of a function room so poor background as well as lighting. Will be good experience thoughSounds quite a challenge! What lens did you decide on? Be great to see your results.
My 'shutter issue' D750 is on its way back to me (received by Nikon on the 10th).
Are there any checks I'll need to make?
Will they require a lab coat?
No reason to check anything unless you see an obvious issue when shooting. If you look for issues you will find them no matter how small they may beMy 'shutter issue' D750 is on its way back to me (received by Nikon on the 10th).

But if you need a lab coat.........
Kind of what I was hinting atYou offering to lend yours?

Just waiting on a replyYou bought a D500 yet?
In that case I'll just stick a lens on and go shooting with it. But thanks for the offer.No reason to check anything unless you see an obvious issue when shooting. If you look for issues you will find them no matter how small they may be
