One of my favorite images lately. Spent an hour taking shots of this juvenile bald eagle in Idaho. He finally got bored with me and flew off. I was hoping he'd stay till the sun dropped farther, but still like the way this turned out. It made for some difficult exposure where he was since he was in the shade of a tree on half of him, with the bright sun on the other.
D810, Tamron 150-600 @600mm.
f6.3, 1/1000 and ISO 1600.
I second that emotion. I also wish that, in current Nikon cameras, that the exposure ladder were on the right side rather than buried down on the bottom where it can get lost in the information clutter down there. A right side match-needle exposure ladder would be heaven.

Ron - it is on the right on my D4 even though it isn't exactly a match needle...well, maybe it is the electronic version of one...Maybe I'm crazy or have a poor memory, but I don't remember it being on the bottom of my D600 or D7000 - thought they had the exposure on the right as well...
Beautiful shot OTR!

I had heard or seen a reference to it being on the right side of the viewfinder on D4's and D5's. I don't know about earlier Pro D bodies but I can confirm that it's buried on the bottom in both the D610 and D7000 viewfinders.
Had they placed it on the right side of the viewfinder, even in the current (non-match needle) configuration although turned to vertical orientation, I would be happy . As it is now, for me at least, it's not nearly as easy or intuitive to use. There's a reason why it's separated from the other readouts and placed on the right side in your D4 viewfinder you know. Nikon didn't just stick it there to be different.
