Nikon D800 Tests - D800 @1000mm: using Sigma 150-500mm w/ Tamron 2.0x Teleconverter. (Example Comparisons)

This test was was done with a Nikon D800 @1000mm, using a Sigma 150-500mm w/ Tamron 2.0x Teleconverter. This is not suitable for Sports or moving wildlife, as the AF is basically useless and all focusing must be manual. (AF tried in both Live View and through View finder). Although acceptable focus is achievable, it required a heavy tripod, wireless remote, and use of Mirror Lockup setting(Mup), and was best obtained using Live View with manual focus.
