Today I stopped to shoot on my break and took both bodies with me. The 810 with 150-600, and D5 with 70-200. Crossed black Rapids. Something really stood out as I was swapping back and forth that I hadn't really noticed until today, possibly because it was overcast. The clarity through the viewfinder on the D5 is so much clearer than the 810. I would pay money to have that replaced in the 810.

If you swap lenses do you still see the same difference in clarity?

It's definitely the D5. It's noticeably brighter with both lenses,

I just picked up a D5 to go with my D810 and you're right the D5's viewfinder is just gorgeous and the focus points almost look holographic compared to other Nikons.  I am sending my D810 in for service as I have had it a couple of years and am thinking that it just gradually got really dirty or something compared to the D5.
