Hello from Monterey, California!

JacquiDPhoto:
Hello everyone!

I found this site as I have been slowly selling off my old, rarely used Nikon gear and was curious if there was a way to fix my "squeaky" 300mm f/4 lens. I came across a few answers which certainly help, so decided to go ahead and join what seems to be an invaluable resource and community of Nikon users.

I am a part-time professional wildlife photographer with a primary interest in birds. I am a Nikon shooter simply because this was the brand originally recommended to me by a friend when I was about to purchase my first DSLR, which was the D80.  Since then I have acquired the D300, D3s, D750 and D500. I have subsequently sold the D3s and D750, but currently have my eye on the D850 as my new FX body. Lenses range from the 24-120mm up to the 500mm f/4 VR, although I have become a big fan of the D500 and the 200-500mm combo. It is a great "walk around" solution to lugging the heavy 500mm prime and it is also ideal for travel.

I look forward to being a part of the NikonGear community!

Welcome to NikonGear, Jacqui. I hope you find lots of helpful information and make some friends here.

Monterey is a wonderful part of the world that I have been fortunate to visit many times over the years. Sadly not this year.

Jack Dahlgren:
Welcome aboard. I'm just up the coast in San Mateo and envy the photographic potential of your area. It is beautiful and every changing down there.

Airy:
Welcome. My sole trip to California brought me to Sausalito and Millbrae, plus a couple of places in between, so Monterey will remain a dream. Maybe you could provide a glimpse :)

Jacqui, welcome to the site.   Beautiful part of California but I have not been since the 1960's and never really looked at the birds.   Show us some of your images please.  I am looking for a used 500 5.6 E agreeing that the 500 f4G is too heavy these days.  Unfortunately not any around in India so far  :( ,
Cheers,
Tom
