I'm still entirely engrossed in the Aquatic Plant Project. There is little time left for anything else these days. Here is one image from today. Not a UFO, but a section of the stem of Eelgrass Zostera marina at 5X magnification (stem is approx. 6mm wide). Z7 with Laowa 25mm f/2.8, Zerene Stacker.

Vicary door

Z6  300/4 AF-S

Left to right: Slab, quarter, quarter, quarter and slab sawn. That 300/4 seems to do well what you've aimed it at John :)
How is the AF performance via the FTZ?

Amazingly detailed image.  What do you mean by "stem"?  Is this a cross-section of it?

Thank you Sten!

Exactly. A cross-section of the stem of the plant. It is compressed laterally to increase its tensile strength - an adaptation well suited for a plant  colonising seabed subject to wave action.

Thank you, Birna, for details.  At first, I thought it was of an Euglenophyceae kind.

Amazing color and beautifully detailed contrast of the natural and the artificial.

Thanks Sten.  AF performance is pretty good on the FTZ if you stay within the 3m-infinite range.  Comparable with the performance on the D850. 

The lens is wide open pretty sharp as well, very clean images, to my surprise.  Extra functional on the Z6 with the IBIS
