Hello,
I had it for a week now. Yesterday was my wife’s daughter graduation at University of Montréal. I took the big moma with me. I’m no pixel pusher, just an amateur with the love of images. I will let them talk on this video. Some shots I took with my 5D3 and 40mm f2.8 STR but the ones with the D800 are easy to spot. Light was terrible almost total darkness at times. I had no tripod nor monopod, just the sheer weight of the monster to carry.
