Another 1.4x TC shot at 560. I'm liking the TC so far, but still learning my way around the best shutter speed/aperture combos for hand holding. So far f9 and 1/1000 seem to be minimums for decent results.

No that's not color banding on the lighthouse, just someone with poor paint matching skills

Impromptu cold weather test - at least to the extent one can do in Texas. Lol!
It was 23 degrees F with persistent (light) freezing rain this morning, so I went out back for about 45 minutes. At that point my fingers & toes were starting to change from burning to numb so I figured that was enough. The camera & lens held up far better than the operator.
The patio & sidewalk were coated in ice, so movements were s l o w!

Loving this lens for landscape work. Tonight I used it with the 1.4x to reach out to a hill I could not get closer to.

Remember when I was excited thinking about MFD with the 1.4x attached? Here’s 560mm and f/20 
looking even better than I figured it would!

Another 560mm MFD shot, this time at f/8. This flower is probably about the width of a sunflower seed, 15mm wide or so.

I'm heading to the Rockies next week, looking forward to trying it on some mountains! Nice shot.

Thanks Scott. That lens should be a lot of fun with mountains. I like what you're showing with MFD at 560mm, that opens up some options for sure.

I probably shouldn't panic yet, I just got it two days ago, but I did notice some weird things happening with mine on Z7II (FW 1.31).
The lens is sharp as hell of the tripod with VR Off, but sometimes hand held, I get completely out of focus images, even at 1/1000, regardless focus confirmation (CAF, or SAF and VR On).
I tried electronic shutter, and mechanical (front curtain) shutter.
I tried very carefully with my left hand against the wall with ES, and I notice that focus point jumps of the point I aimed towards after trigger.
When I zoom in 100%...Show more →
I feel, I need to revisit this post, and my initial impression about my 100-400s.
First of all the weather here is quite cold, and shooting from warm room through open patio door isn't the smartest thing, as Steve Perry described in video below.
When I got the lens home for the first time, that's what I did, and I kept repeating the same mistake.
Last Saturday, I went out, and I spent about 2+ hours.
Once I got back, I went out to my backyard, then I shot some of the objects I shot from my patio door, including some birds.
All the shots were very sharp, at that point something clicked on my mind, didn't Steve made a video about it.
I went in, then I watched video again.
The next thing was to leave camera and lens on my porch for an hour,
Then I took same shots from my patio door, guess what, all sharp, as they should be.
Thanks to Steve, if he didn't made that video, I would've returned the lens, I would never, ever think something like that would mess the images up.
It's worth it to watch whoever didn't yet.
