Thank you for the info. I'm trying a9 now. Love the eye AF for shooting single person (erratically moving 2 yr old). Haven't tried on anything else including WL. Don't want to give up the 500 pf. As u said I wish if there was a proper adapter for Nikon F lens to Sony. Don't want to get any bigger lens at this point. Will wait for Nikon Z50 to see if the AF is good enough for wildlife.

It's known not to focus fast enough for moving wildlife. Nevertheless, it focuses and once it does, it gives crystal clear sharpness with this lens.
The firmware update reportedly even further slowed the focus acquisition for moving wildlife.
Just sad that none dares to make a good converter for the many good Nikon lenses for Sony. E.g. this is an amazing sharp combo, the pic quoted hardly needs any post processing. Architecture etc are great.
I understand that none is interested in users saving money over getting cross-platform access, but it's a shame we can't use Nikon lenses for Sony. ...Show more →
Yes, that's a very attractive option, Nikon lenses are great and I am also a bit interested. Announcement was today for z50. Wondering if this would be a D500 mirrorless? I wish the MPX were higher. Jemini wrote:

It's a new autumn season, and my friend returns.
I began photographing this pie-bald deer two years ago, September. At first I was enamored by his patterning and photographed many "clean" portraits and body shots. Last year, as a spiked buck, I started to think of him as a ghost in the forest. This year I hope to continue building a portfolio of images with a hint of mystery.
This weekend I found him once again, but this time he was wrestling with another young, but larger, buck. While I doubt that my two year old friend will sire any fawns this year, I am hopeful that he will survive the litany of hunters and vehicles that cross his path so I can continue to find and photograph him into the future.
