Thanks Anthony. Lots more 500 PF images coming soon. Alone and with the 1.4X and the 1.7X TC-Es.

While I tend to agree with your evaluation of Nikon vs. Canon images that +1/3 stop example is a poor one at best. I would sum up my feelings by saying that with Canon I liked the RGB values for my WHITEs to come in in the low to mid 230s while with Nikon I prefer them from the mid-230s to the low 240s. And keep in mind that I always kept Highlight Tone Priority enabled and used DPP 4 with my Canon RAW files.

with love, artie

That’s certainly an impressive eye shot at f9 (unsharpened).

Would you say that +1/3 stop on a white bird shows how different the metering systems are between Canon and Nikon? At least I find that highlights are almost never blown on the Nikon, and I find myself exposing way, way more to the right with the D850 than I would with Canon gear.
