- used a Nikkor 35-70 f2.8 which I think will be its "walk about" lens. AF is fast and dare I say a bit of an animal - - I think I would be unsure about using other make lenses as it may rip the guts out of them. It is set to auto at the moment with the 51 sensors on - very very fast and accurate. Following some house martins who nest with us each year is easy and spot on. Weight is fine but with the 70-200 f2.8 or 80-400 lenses it is not something to lug about all day - so I guess I start weight training today.
The full frame format is great - WYSIWYG in the viewfinder - 100% - no more 98% or 95% - full 100% - takes me back to my film days and my stolen F2AS. More to follow.
