Thanks Frank - yes latest FW on the Z8 with bird detection - it even found the eye in this tricky shot - happy with the combo Z8 & Z 400mm:

This afternoon a Common Mito (Aegithalos caudatos), has jumped out of the nest, landing with difficulty on my fence,

Wow. I just updated the Zf Firmware to 2.0

1) crop 100%
2) my edit & choice for printing

Technical D500 & 4/300PF with FTZ & TC14v3 .

I love 1) for the clarity
and 2) for the context, also highlighting their skill

I'm assuming there was no FTZ.
I'm guessing you'd be very happy with Z gear for these situations,  but maybe losing the D500's crop and pixels in exchange for a heavier & bulkier (but more advanced) setup.

It seems you are the only person who cares about my photos and my comments. You are right of course. There was no FTZ necessary for the 300PF and the D500.


PS: I love the D500

I really like the boost the Zf gets by this FW update - tomorrow I'll check out the new Auto ISO behavior.

As far as I know, there was no change to the autofocus with the last firmware update of the Zfc.
