I also shot mostly with z50 and I have 70-300 dx which is good and 200-500
I am thinking for 50-250 what is your experience with the lens?

Nasos, the Z50 was a recent acquisition and given the poor weather here plus the lockdown I have had little chance to come to any firm conclusions about the 50-250. As soon as we get a break in the weather I'll run some comparisons between it, the 200-500 and the 70-200 f4. My original intent was to purchase only the 16-50 with the Z50, however as the two lens kit was priced only $A220 more than the body only, I could not resist!

Edit...oops, looks like I responded to your  comment to Ken , my appologies.

You did well to track this one down - they are pretty elusive and their camoflage doesn't assist the photographer very much.

Red-necked Grebe.

I've not seen this variety of Grebe before Kim. What wonderful smooth feathers down its neck.
Are you finding NX Studio much of an improvement over earlier Nikon s/w?

Initially I was surprised you'd set the ISO so high Chris....until I saw what shutter speed you were working with.
I've not seen many Kingfishers stay still enough for long enough to allow this - even using a tripod!

NZ falcon, Maori name Karearea.

That's a really appealing pose you've caught this one in Netr.
Almost Peekaboo style!

By the way, can I just say how jealous I am of those of you using the 500PF - especially on a D500
Life's been too busy recently, but when get more time I may rent one for a few weekend trips to see if I'm worthy of one :)
