just for the fun of it here is that first D6 500pf test shot indoors at night ... manual auto iso auto wb natural light f/5.6, 1/1250 I kept pushing the shutter speed up until I hit 51,200 where I had my D6 stopped out in auto ISO ... so okay for the martian landing in the back yard :) 20.8 mp sensor gave me a 30.96 MB raw file for this shot.View attachment 15154

I agree the D850 when it needs noise reduction is a bigger challenge than my D4S was or my D500 or now my D6 ...

i think it also depends on the techniques used. I find the D850 a lot easier to clean up than my D500 - and the D500 needs some level of noise reduction as low as iso 400 on some shots (not underexposed), while the D850 looks clean to me often up to iso 1600. If it wasn’t for the better AF coverage for BIF, I am not sure I’d have much use for the D500 anymore.

I think I may have figured out what’s going on. I’ve been doing some handheld shots in the house this morning from 25 to 30 feet even all the way down to 1/125th and getting good results. I’m not used to a lens that has the three selections for auto focus because my 200-500 lens only has manual and auto focus. I turned my focus peaking on and I think what’s happening is I’m grabbing the lens with the focus ring and causing it to go out of focus manually. I have had it in the center position M/A and even the slightest touch overrides the autofocus. I’ve read the paperwork that came with the lens and I really don’t understand why it has this third mode, it doesn’t seem to be logical or at least from what I’m used to. But I think this is in fact what’s going on I’m going to mess with it some more today and post some pictures later but I’m hoping I have found the culprit.

Have you found your solution? in my case too 500 PF is not sharper than my 200-500 and I doubt my own skin or Lens
