Really? I find the bokeh pretty pleasant considering the background, but different taste I guess.
Anyway, the bokeh of the nikon 400mm f2.8 may not help too much the OP decide btw the D600 and the D750 p.

Bernard, did you actually
look at the Hans Feurer website and check out his long lens bokeh? Yes, I know that even that can and might well be getting retouched, done as much myself on the very rare occasion, but generally speaking, the backgrounds are soft and do not hit you in the eye as does the one with your horse-borne archer.
I's not a criticism of
you, so don't take it that way; it's a comment on what I see as the difference in maker approach and there must have been a very good reason for Feurer to switch after a lifetime with the competition (I believe he was once, early on, also a Leica user). He has no need for manufacturer 'charity', so I doubt that could be a factor.
I once read an interview with Parks (Norman Parkinson) who was a very happy Hasslblad 500 user, amongst other formats, including Nikon. According to the interview, 'blad offered him a new, free 150 Sonnar to replace his 'silver' model and he refused it, claiming that the old one was kinder to people...
In general, I think that people get used to their equipment - at least, the serious users do - and that they don't change unless there is a really compelling reason that makes them do so. Accountants can be serious reasons.
