I have been using the 200 f/2 on the Z9 for my photography business the past couple of months. It has performed flawlessly on every given assignment from senior and business portraits, to Ohio Southwest District Division III Wrestling and Ohio State Division I Bowling Tournament.
The 200 f/2 performed very well on the D6 but is a different lens on the Z9 mainly due to the incredible eye focus.

I got hold of a used copy summer 2020 which I bought from private here in germany with a serial number 2043xx.
There's an used VRII from dutch reseller "private.fotografie" with good ratings on ebay.
I got a deal on a VR 1 recently so decided to buy it.
It had a squeek but I've used it enough that it's gone now.
More to come, obligatory cat picture first.
5DS-R with 200mm f2.0 ai plus 36mm of extension tubes focus stacks at f2.0. The tubes brought the MFD down to about 40-45 inches. A mini Echinacea (cone flower)study. The wind smeared some of the petals, but impart a motion look to the photos.
