It certainly is large... I had a D760 several years ago and this is not quite that big, but it's large! It will work well for my "Alfalfa" rifle as well as long range plinker. I have to correct the distances... 385 yards for the pine needles and 585 to the pine cones as described above. The trees interlace a bit and I was able to pick out the branches. Also... I am not sure what kind of tree this is, but the pine cones at 585 are HUGE! I drove to the other side of the course and checked them out. Bigger than your fist.
I VERY much appreciate all comments. I think you are all spot on as clarity is not an issue, more color and depth of field.
Do any of you think the addition of a sun shade or ARD would help with the bright sunlight CA? Again, it is only one branch with the sun in the early evening. I am taking notes and checking six distinct dintances and lighting conditions every 90 minutes to two hours as the day goes. Urimaginaryfrnd is correct... I have been a Software Engineer for 25 years and am too picky... :)
