What is the post limit again? I don't remember anymore.
Today was "Nippi's" day! Went to the San Diego Safari Park and spent the day. Spent the whole day there...my body was dead by the end. I didn't need a cart though, so that is definitely saying something.
Nippi is quite a capable lens! I freaking love using it! Sharpest seems to be about f/4-f/8. She also seems to like distances from about 10 feet to about 70 feet. Before/After that, she starts to get a little soft. Still very usable and only pixel peepers will really take note. These photos have been run through Lightroom, but to be honest, I didn't have to do a lot. Only a few shots have been cropped. One has been converted to monochrome (even though with the light when I took the shot, the color was completely washed out by the fog and clouds).

These types of shots seem to be the best with Nippi. I am floored at the amount of detail this ole bird can resolve. The Nikon Z5 is no slouch either. I know its older tech at this point, but it is light years ahead of my D700 and if I am honest, I prefer the output over the Fuji's I have been using.

I felt a square crop worked for this one. What do you all think?

Nice set, Kevin. It really is great to have you posting pictures again.
I agree, square seems to work for the strelitzia. I found it a challenge to shoot. It's very directional and because of it, there just seems to be one angle to shoot from. Maybe time to return it to our garden and try harder, but yeah, square is good.
Yours is probably the third Z5 in here. It is indeed a nice camera and I couldn't ask for more. It makes manual focus a breeze. The thing I find most remarkable about these Z cameras(I also have z50) is the colour and white balance accuracy. I just shoot and ... done, a double edged sword as that gets boring pretty quick for me. Thankfully, there are still DSLRs.
