Had a fun night on Friday using the D4 for the first time. I am paired with a 70-200 f/2.8. Most notable to me was what I expected: the loss of reach from my DX D7000 is painful. I am going to get my hands on some longer glass for next week. I also have a lot to learn. Using AF-ON to focus is a new technique I need to practice. I also ran into some situations where the stadium lights reflecting off the turf hurt some of my shots. I guess the more sensitive sensor takes some learning.

Here are a few. The full gallery is here: http://www.adamcartwright.com/Sports/Football/Football-2013/2013-CVHS-Varsity-vs-Brighton/

    Nice work. Yes, 200mm on a full frame is pretty tough. I'm really loving my new 120-300 Sigma. Also, you'd better get used to having to back off the luminance in your greens when shooting on artificial turf under lights. It can otherwise look neon.

    D3s, D500, D5300, and way more glass than the wife knows about.

    I agree - nice set - very good images. As John mentions, you should consider toning things down a bit - reds and greens are a bit over-saturated. But, that's easily fixed. You've caught some great action and final framing looks good.
