Q: 4. If I have never used this large of a lens is it very difficult to learn?

A: I shoot wildlife with this lens and it is tack sharp. That being said, you have to learn and use long lens technique . With any lens of this focal length you need a good heavy tripod to reduce shake. Use a higher shutter speed to help freeze the image and reduce the effect of shake. I will often use a release so that I can frame the photo and then get my hands off of the camera/lens and wait for it to settle down before firing. If the subject is moving this isn't possible so keep that shutter speed up. If you are in high winds try to get beside something so it acts as a wind break for you. The best head for a lens this size is a gimbal type head such as the Wimberly and a Arca Swiss style foot on the lens such as Really Right Stuff. Set up like this it is so perfectly balanced you move it around with one finger and it stays put when you stop moving it. To get this to where the critters are I use a Lowepro backpack designed for up to the 600/4 and a body. Tripod on the side of the bag and a large rear pocket for flash, remote cord, and bracket to put the flash over the lens attached to the gimbal mount not the camera. That way you can rotate from vertical to horizontal and back with out moving the flash.Turn the power on the flash down and use it to just barely kiss the subject and bring out color and detail. I use flash mainly on birds or small animals. I shoot with the D810 but if I need more reach I can mount my D300 as it is a dx sensor with a 1.5x crop factor and I get an effective 900mm with it and still maintain the f4 wide open.
