Hello everyone, here are some photos from the last two weeks or so with my new favorite combo, the Nikon D700 “Classic” and 200mm f\/2.\u00a0 Yes it’s a heavy beast of a setup, but man are the pictures sharp and colorful, with a contrast and punchiness that can be had straight out of camera.\u00a0 Nothing too serious with these photos–like all photos on the internet.\u00a0 Just me on morning walks, exercising and practicing with this boat anchor\/greatsword of a setup, to see how I’m going to work it into my loadouts for future events.<\/p>\n

Photos below are with the Nikon D700 + AF-S Nikkor 200mm f\/2G VR IF-ED (I believe that is its official long name from Nikon!)<\/p>\n
