Wedding in Dokkum, as we were in north Friesland for a week.
(Still experiencing focus issues with the Zf, the 35/1.8S or 24/1.8S unfortunately)
I came across similar findings in a review by Dustin Abbott,
My only complaint for stills is that on a few occasions when shooting landscapes that focus would randomly jump right at capture to the very front of the frame, leaving most of the scene out of focus even when shooting at smaller apertures like F5.6:

Frank i don't know need to do some more research, but its quite annoying!
My troubles with Nikon AF are that there is a new AF System in every camera and I do have to check everything, even the stuff I do not understand.
On my holidays I set the Zf to "AF-C & 3D tracking" and accidentially set the D850 to "AF-S & 3D-Tracking". Result are very beatiful cow shots I can all delete because of misfocussing. The cows are beautiful, not the shots.
Because most of my Zf shots are manually focussed I cannot contribute much to AF-issue-tracking
-
The issue seems random, the af system is software-hardware, although i think wider lenses at smaller apertures appear more susceptible, and minimum distances again. I rely on the af system for street stuff, that's where mostly the z35mm f/1.8S comes into play. Yet the eye focus is quite perfect! I re-updated firmware 1.20 will see where it gets me.

Same sunflowers as last picture, however this time done in IR with the Laowa 11mm f/4.5. The wide angle in conjunction with IR filtering makes for a dramatic sky.
Interestingly, some flower head features are not IR-bright, which is unusual. The disk florets are IR dark, a parallel to the bracts (phyllaries) of dandelions which also appear IR black. The IR-dark phyllaries are seen on the sunflower heads too.

I've become quite familiar to the inner layout and workings of the regional hospital, where my friend has been under intensive care and treatment for a week now.
The architecture is what is commonly conceived as 'modern Scandinavian', and to underscore this further, the walls are prominently decorated with excerpts from 'Kringla heimsins'.
From Wikipedia, slightly edited:
Heimskringla, or Kringla heimsins (Norwegian), is the best known of the Old Norse kings' sagas. It was written in Old Norse in Iceland. While authorship of Heimskringla is nowhere attributed, some scholars assume it is written by the Icelandic poet and historian Snorri Sturluson (1178/79–1241) c. 1230. The title Heimskringla was first used in the 17th century, derived from the first two words of one of the manuscripts (kringla heimsins, "the circle of the world").

Playing catch-up during travel, this far away cloud-to-cloud lightening bolt over Oslo was captured with the 500mm PF more than a week ago. The bolts kept recurring in a distinct cloud formation at fairly regular intervals and were easy to catch with pre-capture on the Z8. Otherwise catching a lighting to occur within such a narrow angle of view would rather rather be by lucky chance.

New approach to dance pictures. Today I had a chance to be "on stage" and very close to the dancers. Also, they let me get really close to the action. I used the camera with almost pure instinct, moving around, pressing the shutter without looking, following the action. I was a happy man. Results are -at least for me- very interesting. No thought, no second chance.

What was the flash mode? It looks like you have it on 2nd shutter curtain, that gives opportunity for blurring/movement before the flash happens.
Or ... it was still so light that 1/60 allowed enough of a visible image to form beside the flash.

It was set to fill flash. I might be that the ambient light was the reasons, I did take some pictures without the flash without any problems, just higher ISO.

Ah, that's it then. Fill flash "helps" the ambient light, it doesn't overpower it. If you want sharp pictures in dark(er) situations, you'd have to have the flash as the 'master' light, not the ambient.
I use fill flash for example for indoor parties, where i use a higher ISO and a little pop of flash to bring more life to the picture, but the heavy lifting is then done by the ambient light.
Of course, YMMV

I like this look that you have gotten from the mobile. The typical HDR/filled-in shadows look is gone. Did you shoot it through Lightroom as a DNG file?

so I stick with the jpg files

Meet C. an old friend who is living with his (beautiful) family in a boat, travelling around the world. They made an stop here in La Línea for a few days. This is the moment he came to pick me up at the docks for an evening in the harbour catching up and watching the sun go down.

Originally, Ryoan-ji was not part of the plan of my visit to Kyoto this time. Now I realize that I was guided by your old self.

I am enjoying your images Fons of carved trees and wood slabs.
But do be careful - people might see you as a head hunter... LOL ;D

The food on the handrails in the park was intended for the likes of this Common Grackle (Quiscalus quiscula). These birds prefer their food on the ground to in a feeder.
