Re: Z9 ! : Official thread for Z9 images and discussion
very interested in seeing more samples from the 2xTC with the 600E and Z9. Last shot looks really really promising.
I never had much luck with 2x TC on 500E with D500/D850.

how was the af with the z9/600mm f4e combo?? did you see a noticable drop in speed when using teleconverter?
Was the focus acquisition just as good as a dslr with the z9 with the 600mm no tc attach??
Hey Rick, I want to hold judgement until I can get out and use it more.
My 1st impressions had me marginally concerned. I was at the lake early today and there was about 50% cloud cover initially so it was a pretty dull, hazy light - but there were areas of the water that had a beautiful purple cast. In that lower light, "it seemed like" the AF was sluggish.
However, as soon as there was a more consistent light (not necessarilly bright), the AF picked up to where I expected it to be - at least as good as my D500 and superior to any of my other Z bodies. When I added the 2xTC, it slowed a little but was more than servicable. In fact, with the 2xTC I'd say the 600F4 is faster on the Z9 than any other body I've used to setup on.
Having said all that, I really want to shoot more with it - both with & w/o TC's. It would be foolish to draw a conclusion on a couple hours of testing.
These are uncropped samples.
