Good morning from Hawaii, Stany! Thank you so much for doing the additional test - I'm very impressed by the Z7's ability to yield 100% crops of such high quality - I'm getting a strong urge to go buy a Z7 body to add to my current Z6 (I hadn't realized how much I missed the extra pixels of my D810)...

Hi, Stany!
Nice shot of a kingfisher! The D810 and 200-500 pair up well. I wish I had a good image to show you, but alas - none worth posting
Aloha,
Roy

Stany, I've tried the AF limiter, but find that I often shoot at between MFD-and-6m, causing me even more frustration :D As for the type of photographer that I am - I would characterize myself as an opportunist, shooting whatever catches my eye or interests me - not just birds. And speaking of birds...

Stany, For what it's worth - I agree with you. Personally, I have a 500f4VR and 300f2.8VRII - and now the 200-500. They all have difference strengths and weaknesses, depending on the situation - I'm certainly not upset that my copy of 200-500 seems to achieve sharper images at mid-to-longer distance...
