Yup, sometimes the old stuff rocks
. I use a D4s with the 500f4 G and it's just great. The 500PF is really nice, especially regarding mobility and agility - well, if you are not built like Arnold Schwarzenegger, who even would handhold the D4s with the 800 f56 including the tripod hanging off it
. After having had the opportunity to try the 500f4 E some weeks ago I still would not change unless my G gts run over by a tank and the insurance pays for the loss
