Another sample shot from today using the D800e after updating firm ware and still using the lens with out the UV filter. Note a lot of picture grain because of the high ISO settings to compensate for high shutter speeds I am using to lessen camera shake do to hand holding this lens.
First picture was a 207 Mb TIF file converted to a 1.53 jpeg file. Second pic is a cropped image from the original TIFF file after the RAW conversion to a 2.61 jpeg file.
Setting used: ISO 4000
f/11
1/2000
500mm
