Can we get some more details on this setup?
The dark side of the moon was a full moon shot I took a few months ago, I shot it with a bare 600 FL and z7. The bright side I took a few days ago, I used the z7 and 600 FL with the 1.7II and 2.0III attached. I had to modify the 1.7 to allow them to be stacked. I stopped down a full stop. The stars were a tracked shot on a 70-200FL at 200mm. Layer masked in PS.
Surprisingly the lens will still autofocus with both teles stacked, the moon was manually focused though.

I typically do not like moon shots, but this one is absolutely outstanding!
I am really happy about getting these as Platypus are quite rare to see in the wild and even when they are in a zoo, like these at Taronga Zoo, they are shy and generally only come out at dusk and dawn to hunt for things like freshwater crayfish. It was also with great delight that I saw this guy catch a freshawater cray while I was there!! They are really cute little fellas and its a real treat to see one of the world's truly unusual creatures. The Platypus is a Monotreme which is an egg laying mammal that suckles it's young with milk. There are only five types of Monotreme in the world all living in Australia, the other four being types of echidna.
I have only ever caught a glimpse of Platypus in the wild and never a hope of getting a photo of one.
I wish I had remembered to put my polarizer in the bag before I left for the zoo!
Z7 + 70-200 f2.8S, 1/640s f/4.5 at 115.0mm iso2500
Here are a couple of pictures with my Z7 from a recent trip to the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario. The first is with the Voigtlander 21 f/1.4 and is taking at the Singing Sands beach at sunrise in the Bruce Peninsula National Park. The second is with the Voigtlander 50 f/1.2 and is a picture of my son on a hiking trail near Lions Head on the peninsula. Both lenses are the Sony FE mount versions.

That came out super. Really nice work.
How did you manage to stack 1.7 II & 2.0 III TC's?
Did you have to modify something?
I've tried and I just can see how they couple together.
I'd love to know.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot! So, I can confirm you can stack a 1.4 III or a 1.7 II, with a 2.0 III (I'm not sure on other versions). You have to remove the lens mount and grind a little tab off on either the 1.4 or 1.7 to make them fit on the 2.0 though. AF still works on a z body, but it is sluggish.
