I got my 85S in Den Haag, during the recent NG Photorace. They had it for a discounted price as well :)

Yes it is 100 euros off until 15th next week. The local dealer has one in stock, I resisted although I think it is an excellent lens, still enamoured with the 24-70/2.8S. They have a 24/1.8S in stock too, do you like that one?

So, an exceptional good lens?

For such a zoom yes

A feat to get this setup secure and stable ;)
surprisingly easy, probably whoever designed the foot of the 200-500 tested it with a V1 , or perhaps with no weight hanging from the lens

It is much more work to stabilize the zoom with the D800 attached

beautiful cloud forms with great subtle colors

trying the v1 with the 200-500

Whenever I see such an amazing super-tele image, I regret that Nikon 1 is aborted.

The Z series is but a development of the 1 series ;) certainly from a broader perspective.
