Yet another example of the excellent bokeh rendering with a typically harsh background of dense dead grasses. Continue to be incredibly impressed with these optics.

FYI, LensCoat now has lens covers available for the Nikon 100-400mm lens:
https://www.lenscoat.com/lenscoat%EF%BF%BD-nikon-100400mm-p-4408.html

Here are a couple images taken last week with this lens. Both images were taken with the Z9 camera. Unlike the first image, the second image was taken with the 1.4x Teleconverter attached.

I'm wondering what people here prefer, LensCoat, or those tiny skins (not available yet for this lens)?

Vastly prefer the stickers - no affect on zoom or focus function/feel, unobtrusive, and they don't smell like neoprene. Overpriced but so is lens coat

Some really amazing images by this lens!
"Manishkshukla", I (most of us, actually) would appreciate if you would write down basic image parameters, like FL, F, SS and ISO, please.
Thanks!

Thank you. I am new here and was trying embedding image from Flickr for the first time. I will add settings for each pic, but meanwhile, you can visit my flickr page to see them.

I just found them, they're all shot at 400/f5.6 by Z7II, fantastic, I wish my lens to be that sharp wide open at 400mm.
I keep repeating myself, but rendering by this lens is just second to none.

Spectacular images Manish! A very good advertisement of the capabilities of this lens in the right hands.

Hope to get mine in a week or two. Made the mistake of placing my NPS priority order with B&H that sold it to another customer. Should have gone with Berger Bros. - next time.

More fun at Taronga Zoo with the Z9 + Z 100-400 f4.5-5.6 VR S. Just putting camera and lens through their respective paces. I got many sequences of BIF shots from the various birds on display from the Bird Show that they put on and pretty much everyone of them tack sharp. The combo works brilliantly.

One of the Lion Cubs born in August, 2021. The first set of Lion Cubs at the zoo in 18 years. Shot through glass.

Black-breasted Buzzard Kite. In the wild, this bird uses a rock to smash open Emu eggs and it is not a taught behaviour, it is wired into their brain from birth. This bird is showing what it can do.

Barking Owl flight. I got a whole sequence of shots. This is about the 4th shot after leaving the handlers hand.

If you are happy with your camera that's great, but there is no need to come here and tell us as we don't care. That just shows that you are very insecure about your camera. I have never felt insecure about my cameras and thus never feel the need to have to try to convince others in another camera forum of my decision on the camera I use. Sorry to see you are so insecure about your purchase.
