As usual, my local squirrel is a willing test subject when new equipment arrives.

Are you sure his willingness to pose results from the excitement of the new gear rather than the food he gets

The Nikkor 500mm f/5.6 is a very nice lens, though. With or without squirrels.

Thanks, no human-sourced feeding occurred.   the willingness was all about the nice cached cones he was peeling. (Feeding wildlife beyond what results from bird feeding is illegal in Alaska.)
While the 500PF for sure is a nice lens, I have had it for quite a wile now, so the test was not specific to that lens.

Since Daniel is probably still on vacation in Croatia, this little impression from southern Germany will suffice.

This looks rather Switzerland...
