Wow. That is a super shot, and great commemoration on the thread.
It is also great to see 24-70G doing great with Z system. I also use 24-70G on Z6 , most recently for shooting a Dance concert. It did far better than I anticipated in terms of AF, and the lens feels better in hand on Z6 than on D700 or D810, which was always a bit too heavy for a standard zoom for me.
Shots late evening in the streets of Pontevedra
Z6 and 28E
I so missed IBIS with the D85O/D750 for low light shots.
Charles,
Great capture of rainy cold atmosphere. I agree that Z’s IBIS makes the use of WA on low light quite fun without using tripods.
I got curious and googled Ponteverde and it was a surprise to realize it is quite close to Porto. Due to my poor geographic knowledge I didn’t recall that Spain has west coast facing the Atlantic on the north of Portugal.

Any Z users with a 500mm F/4 or 600mm f/4? Can you post a birdie pic with a 2x TC 111 at f/8.
I'm curious as to the usability of this combination compared to DSLR's.

Thank you very much Luka Yes Pontevedra is just north of Portugal near Vigo and Santiago. Beautiful part of Spain and not inundated by tourists and best kept secret by the locals.
Shots this afternoon in Porto, Portugal and Pontevedra just trying out the Z6 as a street portrait camera.
Z6 and 50/1.8S 85/1.8S

stunning image of the peacock Lance!
Thank you very much for your kind comment, Brian. Much appreciated!
I am usually not keen to post peacock images as they are usually done to death and "easy" targets for a decent shot due to their highly decorative feathers etc, but I did like the way this one turned out. Plus I was trying out the 85 f1.8S which some may have been interested in.
Loving all the street shots. Raining a lot there eh? Love rain for shots, not that I like getting wet.
Some 300PF shots from last week.
Wonderful shots Luka !!
Thanks Luka Yes it is raining a lot and having weather proof camera gear is a must. With the Z6 and 50S, 28E and 85S I allow the camera body and lens in the rain. This is not possible using the Sigma Art lenses. I just use the lens shade and it keeps the rain off the front lens.
Great series Lance! My 70-200E is still one of my favourites At the moment mine is packed with the main shipment so it will be about another 12 weeks before I see mine again.
