Hello all,
Perhaps someone from the forum still has the 300mm f4D AF-S and the Nikon D500 and could help me figure this out.
So, the scenario:
I was testing the Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 against the Nikon 300mm f4D AF-S with Nikon TC14II on the Nikon D500.
And I found out that the difference was much greater than I remembered (I had tried out the 200-500mm f5.6 back when it came out on the D810 and they were closer).
So I checked the 300mm f4 a bit more and it seems that if shooting in burst, most of the shots show shutter shock even at 1/1000s:
So, out of 10 shots in a burst, 7 look like the one on the right. I need to bring the SS up to 1/2000s or faster in order to get continous sharp images.
Has anybody encounter such a behaviour?
Note: I don't think it's a general camera issue, as I was doing the same thing with the 200-500mm f5.6 and I got 9/10 shots sharp. Also, if using the 300mm with TC on the D810, I get about 8/10 frames sharp.
