[Leica] Nikon D850

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I acquired a Nikon D850 a couple of weeks ago, as it neatly replaces two of
the aging Nikon bodies that I own and use regularly, the D800E and the D4.
What hastened me into the purchase is various extremely attractive bundle
that Nikon India had put together, no doubt to encourage Canon/Sony users
to switch to Nikon, at savings up to US$ 1500 over the pieces purchased
separately. I acquired a Nikon D850 + 24-120mm f4 + 85mm f1.8 + 200-500
f5.6 at just under US$5000. I have already sold the 24-120mm and the 85mm,
leaving me with the Nikon D850 + 200-500mm at 80% of the cost of a D850
body alone. Not a bad deal, indeed. Similar bundles at different prices
exist for the latest iteration of the 70-200mm f2.8 and 24-70 f2.8 instead
of the 200-500mm f5.6.

Here are some photographs from a early morning visit to Marina Beach in
Chennai a few days ago, one of the first outings the D850 had. All
photographs taken with the Nikon D850 and the Nikkor 70-200mm f4 lens.
There will be variations in white balance, as I was experimenting with the
output of my new toy in post processing:
