New kid on the block: AFS 200-500 mm f/5.6 Nikkor E
Jakov Minić:
Somnath, that is a beautifully captured bird.
I cannot believe ti's so sharp hand-held at 500mm and 1/60s...

No typo. Don't know where you got the 144mm figure from? The filter size is 95 mm and the thickness of the barrel is less than this.

My mistake, 144mm is the diameter of the AIS 200-400/4.

OK, my internet connection is at least temporarily restored, and I'll be able to show some boring test images.
First a quick test on focusing accuracy, field curvature, geometry, and light fall-off. Just returned home, put the lens on the Df, and focused (by AF) on my living window curtains. With the lens set to 350 mm and the curtains nicely back lit, a perfect test object for the given purposes.
(f=350mm, N=5.6, t=1/1000 sec)
