Thanks, Howard. Gosh, the clarity of the eagle’s head is impressive. I know
we’re all looking forward to more images from that combination.
Best regards,

Hi Flexers,
Peter was asking about the capability of the Z7 on birds in flight.
At Otter Bay ferry terminal Wednesday I had the Z7 with the 300 f4.0 Pf.
It’s a nice light combination.
The eagle was skittish and flew over the terminal but did not land - likely
because I was wearing my spring clothes instead of my winter ones.
Focus capture was very good - about the same as with the D500. Locked on
follow focus was also about the
same - helped, perhaps, by the new animal eye focus software that I had just
downloaded.
Three images for your viewing - all at 1/1000 f9.0 exp comp -0.3 with auto
ISO. All cropped to about half the frame.
