As some of you may be aware I am contemplating the jump to FF soon and luckily a friend allowed me to briefly test her Nikon D600 with my lens and TC combo
These juvenile gulls were doing fly-bys over a nearby cliff so decided to take a few shots
I tried a few different settings but tried to see how good the sensor was for shadow recovery. With my D7000 i would have had awful grain under the wings from raising the shadow but here it kept very clean
AF was more consistent that my D7000 too but I could not put it through its paces against cluttered background
Comments and critiques welcome
Settings
300f4 + 1.7x TC
1/2500
f8
ISO 500
