Kingfishers do not stay long in one place. I watched this one on the post for a few minutes (taking some record shots) and then saw it lean forward into a dynamic position. I thought it was about to take off, and started shooting at 20fps. Even at that fps, I only managed to capture one decent shot - they are very fast!
Precapture would be ideal in that situation, but I have not yet come to grips with it.

The Z9 AF with Firmware 5.3 is next to nothing. Intuitive. Wonderful, glued to the eye of the subject even at f/1.2

Lovely, what made you decide for the Heliar instead for the 75mm f/1.5 nokton.
