Just received this lens and it works perfectly in my z7, while in the z9 in afc and focus priority it does nit release between 300 and 400
The z9 works perfectly with all other lenses.
Anybody experienced the same or I have bad lens or bad z9?

Albatros, Espanola Island, Galapagos.
I went for two weeks to the Galápagos Islands recently with my Z9 and 100-400. I brought the 2X converter but I rarely used it, the wildlife is so close.
Here are a few albatros photo I took on Espanola Island.

Some burrowing owls. Check out the eyes on the one owl. I have seen photos of them with these eyes before but this is the first time I have photographed them personally. CC welcomed and appreciated. Thanks for looking.
I invite folks to look at the black eyes of the Barred Owl owlet just a page or two back on this same thread. And then consider the fact that Barred Owls are fully nocturnal. Burrowing Owls are not.

Interesting. I will have to see if I can find the article someone else posted about their eyes. It seems in burrowing owls it is genetic and not due to them being fully nocturnal.

Please have a look at the response I give in a related thread. I believe this is the reason for the black eyes.

And another Audubon link I found on the Barred Owl. In this one, they mention the maniacal call of the Barred Owl. I heard it many times when on the Everglades marsh at night, and it was coming from the Big Cypress swamp. It is a crazy sound. In this link, they say that crazy calling back and forth, are two Barred Owls courting in the night!
Here is the last one I just found. It is the same crazy callings I mentioned coming from the Big Cypress.
