Many thanks for this lovely video. Beautiful images. I’ve read about these lenses continuously hunting focus on the Z9 Does that happen with you? Is this a brand new lens you had or was it picked up second hand. They don’t make these anymore I believe
I absolutely cannot confirm this. Both the Z9 and the Z6 work very well with this lens. AF is fast and spot on eye tracking on birds works without problem. You can check out many different videos on the channel and the lens works from Muskoxes to Macro / Dragonflies and birds. Without Tc and with the 1.4 Tc the lens is sharp fast and spot on. With the 2 times Tc the AF gest more iffy and I would not recommend it if there are other options - this is more a backup rather than a solution. I bought the lens used/second hand and I am very happy. I love to pair it with the Z 180-600 since the 300 F/2.8 gives a look at wider angles that the zoom cannot match.

How do you find the Nikon 300 f2.8 vrii on the Z9? Have you considered the 400 f4.5 S lens? I shot the 300 f2.8 for many yrs either TC’s now have the 400 f4.5 but I miss the 300, one of my most loved lenses.
I love the 300 mm as well ! Especially for environmental shots (if you want check out the Musk Ox Video or the Nikon z6 III Bird Photography Video) it is my absolute favorite lens. I rather take the 180-600 Zoom with the 300 mm since the F/2.8 gives me the look that I am missing from the Zoom when I Zoom out. I love the Bokeh of the Zoom at 600 mm where it is really nice. So to me both lenses do very well together. If I would buy another S-line prime I would go for the 800 pf as I do not see an alternative to the 300 mm AF-S currently in the line up. However, maybe Nikon comes up with a light version of the 300 F/2.8 and then I would rather go for that. Let us wait and see - for now I will stay with the AF-S lens which works great on both the Z9 and the Z6 III. Cheers Michael
