Phil, those look good (and very close). I have been enjoying the 105 on the Z6 and have been shooting closeup flower pics handheld using single single point, AF-C, although even a little breeze can make things difficult.
A few more from today-

Happy Canada Day, everyone. 
Ended up picking a used 70-200 f4 in pristine condition as I'm leaving for a 2 week roadtrip in 10 days and there's no way Z mount ships in time for that. Still kicking myself for selling the 2.8E back in February.

Also - that 85mm is a sweet sweet lens.

Dutch wine fields.
Did not try any, but I expect it to taste like the German (white) wines; not my favorite.
The grapes are originated from Riesling.

Very nice, again. I was attempting to shoot hand held too, but I found myself getting a bit dizzy trying to flow with the motion of the bush.
I need to try it with a tripod and find a way to stabilize the bush.

These are terrific, Bruce. I really admire and envy your ability to locate and get (reasonably) close to such beautiful wildlife.
The bear shot is even better than first impression, given the light (1/160, ISO 6400 - wide open).

Phil

Thanks Phil,
The black bear was foraging within 2 meters of my campground. We (my wife and I) were actually heading out to search for grizzly bears when we came across this female foraging with her cubs (you can just barely see a pair of cubs hidden by grass to the lower right). I tried to stay in my car, but as she moved further into the valley, I grabbed my tripod, set up, and just sat and watched. She became comfortable with my presence and resumed her interest in the dandelions.
The moose story was similar, though I was sure to stay clear of the calf... I am more afraid of a female moose with a young calf than a bear with cubs. Given a reasonable distance, bears will keep eating and ignore people... Moose and bison can become really aggressive/unpredictable around people if there are any calves.
cheers,
bruce

Nice images! I'm considering selling my Fuji X-T3 kit to acquire the Nikon Z7 System, and was wondering how you think the image sharpness of the 24-70 f/4 Nikkor S compares to the 24-70 f/2.8 Nikkor S.
Thank you, and have a happy and Safe Fourth!

Z7 is real good camera for af accuracy
But do not expect too much from c-af
The only reason I sold mine because I got very good offer.
If I buy a z mount camera again, I will chose the z6 over the z7 or wait for z8

Hi,
I only have F mount 24-70 2.8g which works fine on Z6. Focus in distance can be a bit wonky at times. I do still love the rendering of 24-70 2.8G, but it's a relatively old design and it shows. I am pretty impressed with 24-70 f4s overall. It is very transparent in comparison to 24-70 2.8 G. Especially on video, CA control is evident and less distracting. Something I was not ever bothered in stills, can be quite distracting in video. 24-70 2.8S seems like a stunning lens, but I currently do not have plan on getting the lens.
