I am curious about you guys with Sony glass - what is the logic to buying a Nikon body to adapt to this glass? I can see the logic for the inverse (filling gaps in Nikon glass with adapted Sony or Canon lenses). What am I missing? Is it for video?

I like
- Nikon camera ergonomics and looks
- Clean ISO-64 images for landscapes
- Skin tones for portraits

- Sony AF speed and precision
- Sony A1's customization (using the camera becomes second nature. With Z9/Z8, I always have to think)
- Sony lenses are typically lighter and smaller than their Z equivalents (70-200 GM ii, 50 GM, 24-70 GM ii, etc)

So, for me, buying Sony lenses, allows me to use them on both bodies.

Took the Z8 on it's first video outing today. Grabbed a few stills with the 24-120 as well.

All shot with Z9. Is a flowy trail and no big jumps or big drop offs. Nobody was risking anything to do jumps fyi...

I'm finally getting the hang of this Z9 with settings that are giving me near 100% results. Sure makes birding a much easier experience then some former setups I've used.

1) Australian White Ibis. Quite an ugly bird and known locally as a "bin-chickens" or "tip-turkeys" for their proclivity of rummaging through trash cans or found on rubbish tips looking for food.

I quite like this shot due to the lovely afternoon light but also the wallpaper like back-ground as I wouldn't normally post a photo of this common and rather unattractive bird. I was using my Z9 due to the Z8 being recalled, and the 800 PF

Z9 + Z 800 f6.3 PF, 1/2500s f/6.3 at 800.0mm iso500

2) Whilst looking for birds in the bush, this curious little Eastern Rosella was foraging around for insects and grubs and didn't seem concerned about me at all. He was quite close and near the MFD of the 800 PF. I love these little guys as they are quite curious and characterful.

Z9 + Z 800 f6.3 PF, 1/2500s f/6.3 at 800.0mm iso500

3) On another outing. Female Golden Whistler

Z8 + Z 800 f6.3 PF, 1/200s f/6.3 at 800.0mm iso400

4) From a local zoo. Star Finch

Z8 + Z 100-400 f4.5-5.6 VR S, 1/125s f/5.6 at 270.0mm iso4000

5) From a local zoo. Hooded Parrot

Z8 + Z 100-400 f4.5-5.6 VR S, 1/125s f/5.6 at 290.0mm iso2200

Went to an air museum and took this of a Russian Mig 21 jet intake

Z8 + 14-24 f2.8, 1/80s f/8.0 at 24.0mm iso1400

Thanks very much for your kind comment. I don't know if it just that there is more environmental reporting these days, but it seems to me the planet has become particularly fragile in recent times. We had the biggest cyclone ever in our part of the world earlier this year and as a society are coming to grips with retreating from some developed areas and not rebuilding.

If I understand what you mean by "retreating from some developed areas and not rebuilding".... we are doing same over here.

Government is learning that it can be much too costly to repeatedly pay to rebuild much of the coastal areas after repeated hurricane disasters. Translation: Give these places back to Mother Nature. The birds move back in hours/days after the storm. No building needed
