Western Tiger Swallowtail Is the butterfly picture a crop? Just curious about the field of view the lens can attain w/TC 14.
P.S.: as a general remark, it seems that this lens must be used most of the times with TC 14 ...
That's ~20mpix crop.

It's not like 100-400s, but I'll be happy with that kind of magnification.

If I was more into butterfly photography I'd probably consider 100-400.
70-200 with TC (100-280 F4) will do in a pinch too. Choices / tradeoffs.

This is DX with maybe -10% for some even more distracting branches. Tall tree, not the best perch.

We had a couple 35C+ days - from this evening walk once the outside became more manageable. I think I located a nesting spot for a family of red-tailed hawks + another unexpected encounter with a beaver (in a place I've never seen them before).

FYI - The Camera Store in Calgary hosted Brad Hill for a presentation on Nikon Z long lenses last night. At 1:01:05 he discussed in some detail the new Z 400/4.5 S you may have to click on the YouTube link -

Rufous Hummingbirds from the morning walk. Used auto area AF for those and it worked really well.

Seeing these pictures with the 400 f/4.5 makes me more ecstatic that I pre-ordered it. Now it is just a waiting game. Love these shots and amazed at how well it does with the 1.4x TC attached.

Cheers. I'd say it's comparable with TC to 500 PF IQ wise (with better balance, slightly faster AF, synchro VR and it's 60mm longer.... at a cost of 1/3 stop).

Thanks very much Jerry. I was quite surprised to get the gannet diving as it was quite a way out and it was just with the bare lens. The image is cropped but not excessively so.

Evening walk. I've never seen a merlin eat a dragonfly before.
I have trouble identifying the white duck.
