Botanical Garden today with the 200mm f/2G

[atpaula]

First the B&W.
I can't wait to replace my D5 with the Z6 ( I believe there will be no D6). I've been asking for a lighter Pro Nikon for years. Someone told me here it was not possible.
Thank you for looking.

Very fine shots!
If you are using the 200 f/2G then you are using the lens with probably the highest specific weight in the Nikon lineup. In this context weight of the camera body is not too much of an issue. I'd prefer a heavier body for better balance - so i hope there will be a D6.

200/2 = 3kg ; D5 = 1.4 kg ; Z6 = 0.6 kg.
In the Z6 case, the body is just an appendage. Good news for the pros who carry two camera bodies (rather than dual card slots).

Back to the main subject - fine shots indeed; it is unfortunate that much of the extra quality gets lost over the internet (downsampling, compression, etc.). I'd like to see big prints...

Very nice images indeed fully utilising the amazing boke this lens can deliver, you really made me miss my good old 200/2VR though

The big gun Very nice captures and PP

Very nice use of 200 and pp. I specially like #5
Z6 is on my personal list and pre-order too

Thank you for the comments guys.
The Z6 is the best news for me in many years, in terms of photo equipment.

[Peter Connan]

You are welcome to pass the D5 my way when the Z6 arrives. It still takes magnificent photos!

I would also go for a D5 when there is no D6
