Detail shot with the 24-200. Fun, flexible lens but I’m sticking with the 24-70/4.

For me it's the other way; kept the 24-200 and sold the 24-70/4

I can understand that choice. The 200mm end was used a lot and fun. But didn't like the across the framer performance especially on the wider end. And that's where more serious work would happen.

How does the Z6II handle the cold?...
Today it was -4 F (-20 C) and with the wind, my warm body was battered by -26 deg F temperatures. I went out to see how the Z6II might cope with the cold. I could only handle about an hour of photography this morning, as my body has not adjusted to the cold yet.
While the shutter got louder as the camera and I got coder, it never quit. I used the FTZ attached to my 200-400mm lens. In many ways, I think the lens suffered more than the camera. It was tough to nail the focus... I wonder if the mix of uber cold influenced my own capacity to maintain focus, white plumage of the subject impacted focus, and if the 200-400 experienced a reduction in acuity with the water vapor coming off the river.
Whatever the cause, I only managed 2 out of 25 critically sharp photos. This is the lowest focus hit rate I've had in a long time... disappointed, I but will try again tomorrow morning.
regards,
bruce

When the thermometer said -8, I decided to stay at home. Lots of nothingness allowed me to see that my friend survived the hunting season, endless streams of vehicles, and battles with others of his kind. I guess the cold and snow brought him to the feeders that sustained him last winter. Anyway, given the colors and dusting of snow, I’ll call him the Christmas bird.

Nothing says "Christmas" like the flowering of the Pohutukawa in New Zealand. I've always enjoyed the reds coming off the Z6 sensor and this shot reminds me why...

No, no need to. Just standard old single focus even though he was moving about quite a bit.
