Hey guys I'm back with another video this time testing out the Nikon 600mm f4 FL that Nikon UK wonderfully loaned me for a few weeks.

Whilst out of lockdown over Xmas I headed out and shoot a local photography project on Short-eared owls! (Video shot pre lockdown, I've just had a busy week, so a little slow on the editing) Sadly the 600mm has had to return to Nikon, but what a few weeks we had!

Over the Last few years I've been thinking about adding a longer tele to my kit and the 600mm has always taken my interest as a possible addition, but as it's a little out of my style with the super tele reach being far longer than the 300mm I am used too, I wanted to test it out in the field and get some hands on experience. From my first few days it was pretty evident it was going to be a winner and with the local Short-eared Owls showing spectacularly close to home. They were the ideal project for a few weeks before we plunged back into lockdown. It's safe to say that the 600mm is even higher up my list, although I'm planning to wait for the Z mount version...! Or maybe a 400mm 2.8!
Just for context all the images in this video are shot on the 600mm FL some with the TC 1.4 E III for an awesome 850mm reach! (Headshot)
