Today I was trying my beloved nikon 200-500 on my D850 and I am very happy with the results.

The images are totally unprocessed, as if they came straight out of the camera, with exception of ©

When you click on the 1000px longest side picture, the full size jpg will open in your browser.

Picture style was set to A(uto), new since D850, and I love it. Just enough sharpness and saturation with pleasing natural colours.
Camera was set to M (as I shoot most of the time), F5.6 and auto iso.

You might think, "It's just a pigeon...", and that's right but I don't have eagles in my garden, and feather detail is what counts in a camera evaluation. If feather detail is OK for the pigeon, it will be OK for an eagle as well. ;)
