This was shot with the oft maligned and difficult to use Reflex Nikkor 500mm f8 lens.It was fun to experiment with and I used it with both FX and DX sensor fields.
I'm glad to have made this shot and the additions to my birds gallery that begin at http://www.pbase.com/mkrauss/image/109565298

Nikon D3 ,Nikkor 500mm f/8 Reflex Ai-S

I've always wondered about the reflex lenses. It sure did a great job here.

Very nice shot Mark now after lookiing at this one I have to dig out my 500

This is a great shot. Is the background water just out of focus, or was there a bit of panning on your part?

Wow,fine catch and this bird is quite an elegant glider.This kind of shape of the wings is used in gliders with their long span.

I like what it did to the water. Sharp image. Does this work like the reflector telescope I had as a kid?

Wow, it did a great job, Mark. One question, what are the guidelines for avoiding the donuts one sees from this kind of lens? I might check into prices for the Nikkor mirror lens
