Wildlife on Film

I have a new lens coming today and I hope to use it for wildlife. I've always shot wildlife on digital, mainly because I was too young to afford a professional telephoto lens when I was shooting film in the 90's, and by the time I was making enough money to buy one, we were well into the digital age.

Shooting wildlife on digital is so common now that we really don't even think about the pitfalls. Needing to bring spare batteries and keeping them warm during winter. Scouting wildlife through a digital screen that's always draining battery, at least for mirrorless. And one of my favorites, hiking out into the middle of nowhere only to realize you've left the SD card at home!

We'll see what happens. I'll likely start posting a lot more wildlife pics, although this area of Massachusetts doesn't seem to be the best for wildlife. The combo I'll be using is the Nikon AF-S 500mm f4 VR paired to the F100.
