Do not compare color contrast, different day and light. Do compare sharpness. Nothing scientific about this, just making sure I understand what my long lenses can do.
The difference in magnfication is interesting, I was expecting less difference in image size, it feels like the image is twice as big on the 800mm, maybe what some people think, that image content is related to the square of the focal length is true.
If you have a 800mm 5.6 VR G send it in for a comparison.
Interesting results Rafael. Still not used the 800 with the Z7, but with lesser 300 & 400mm hand held, IBIS was essential. BTW, I noted that is essential to use front curtain shutter to avoid blurred images with these 300-400mm lenses. Have you tested this option too?
What I am concerned is that both 35/1.4 NC and now the 35/2 OC have abismal loss of sharpnnes at borders ith the Z7 EVEN when i use f/5.6 or f/8
Need to test IBIS on - off, Front-Curtain Shutter, etc. setups to see if one of them is the responsible, or simply these lenses did not deliver at the 46MP sensor borders.
