I am not able to put it down in words. It is a bit different to use (at least to my amateur level), than the 70-200 G variety that I had and loved for years. I slowly got the hang of it, but asking me how, is like asking me how to balance yourself on a bike - it's just different somehow. 🤐

Well that just begs the question.....what have you learned?
An afternoon shooting the kite surfers but chose to concentrate on the kites on the beach rather than them on the water as it was difficult to get the right shot with the kite and the person in that "perfect" position due to the wind and sun at the time.
Hi-
So I just received the 70-200 2.8 s as a rental to try on my Z6 and I had a question for you all about the VR settings.
Basically at what shutter speeds do you use Normal and when do you use Sport. My first impression is that this is a very nice lens. It is not nearly as heavy or cumbersome as I feared it might be. (Mind you I shoot the 500 PF on a D500 all the time.)
In fact it feels very good and acquires focus quite rapidly. I have it for a week as I have an event to shoot this weekend and a couple of other projects I hope to try with it. Thanks for any help!
If I need to pan a lot (as when you shoot sports or racing), I would use Sports mode. If not, I leave it on Normal. If I am shooting above 1/250s and in good light, I often turn it off to conserve battery.
Here is more info on what Nikon calls OS Sports mode

You can take beautiful photos with any decent lens, if you are in the right place at the right time. For example, the z 40mm f/2 is about 1/9th the price of the 70-200S and you can take beautiful images with it. Please don't get discouraged by cost.
