What is the post limit again? I don't remember anymore.
Today was "Nippi's" day! Went to the San Diego Safari Park and spent the day. Spent the whole day there...my body was dead by the end. I didn't need a cart though, so that is definitely saying something.
Nippi is quite a capable lens! I freaking love using it! Sharpest seems to be about f/4-f/8. She also seems to like distances from about 10 feet to about 70 feet. Before/After that, she starts to get a little soft. Still very usable and only pixel peepers will really take note. These photos have been run through Lightroom, but to be honest, I didn't have to do a lot. Only a few shots have been cropped. One has been converted to monochrome (even though with the light when I took the shot, the color was completely washed out by the fog and clouds).
These types of shots seem to be the best with Nippi. I am floored at the amount of detail this ole bird can resolve. The Nikon Z5 is no slouch either. I know its older tech at this point, but it is light years ahead of my D700 and if I am honest, I prefer the output over the Fuji's I have been using.
