Approaching the Scene 200: Why I Love the New Nikon 800mm 6.3 PF S

(LINKS BELOW): I’m blown away. When I ordered this lens I doubted that I’d keep it. Now, after just a couple of hours shooting with it, I can’t imagine sending it back. It’s far lighter and better handling than I imagined, razor sharp wide open and amazingly fast focusing. Like the 500PF, this one really opens another world of photographic opportunity. In this video, I’ll show you why I love it so much.
