      Same but I am far from wealthy and I didn't have any issues spending my 12 year old daughters college fund, (I have time to replace it), lol! I have the 500mm f/4E VR FL and 200-400mm f/4G VRII lens along with 24-120 f/4S, and 70-200FL. I use the D6 mostly, but I just added a Z7 II and 24-120mm f/4S and I'm blown away by the $1200 5x zoom lens, it's as sharp as my 500FL, but a wide-to-tele zoom? Freaking nuts how improved the wider angle lenses are. I've had the amazing opportunity to also test a sample copy of the 600mm f/4 S 1.4x TC, and it's unbelievable. I have shot almost every Nikon and Canon modern day-20 years past, super=tele primes and zooms. I've shot the entire Nikon lineup as far as super-tele's are concerned. Before the new 600mmm f/4S, I'd rate the Nikon lenses from sharpest to least sharp, but all are crazy sharp so take with a pinch of salt. Number 1. Nikon 800mm f/5.6E VR FL ( A notch above the rest, for sure) Number 2. Nikon 600mm f/4 S (Video reviewed here, is now the sharpest lens, only second to the 800FL, "Baby Jesus!" Number 3, my personal favorite the Nikon 500mm f/4E VR FL, Number 4. Nikon 400mm f/2.8 S 1.4x TC, Number 5. 400mm f/2.8E VR FL, Number 6: The amazing Nikon 120-300mm f/2.8E VR FL, which is crazy, crazy sharp for a zoom! Lastly the Nikon 180-400mm FL (Which is crazy sharp, as well... so please no offense) I took notes and I have files to back all of thiops up, but there is a bit of subjectiveness and I did leave out the Nikon 600mm FL, only because I have used one, but it was either a poor copy or just not as sharp as the others, and certainly was less sharp than my 500FL, more in line with the 200-400mm VRII, which I use a lot, but more like the 180-400FL, so last place for me, but don't get me wrong, people love the 600mm f/4E VR FL. It's a $12,500 lens so you should love it. The only reason I bought the 500mm was because the 400FL and 600FL are still big and heavy, regardless if they lost some weight and for me the 500FL is better optically, than the other two. I had the 800FL, but I only bought it for resale, I got it for $7,100 USD before the 800pf was announced and sold it for a profit. It was by a noticeable amount, the sharpest and best image quality I'd ever seen, by a fair bit. Compared to this newest 600mm f/4S VR 1.4x TC is phenomenal and thankfully if you prefer the 600mm f/4 over the rest, you now can enjoy world class leading sharpness. It's a tad sharper than the 500FL and nearly as sharp as the 800FL, so at least with Nikon you get what you're paying for, and I don't regret my two big lens purchases, never ever. I would but them buy them again!

      @@nordic5490 JP just hasn’t got the time to explore Nikon in depth. This means he misses things he should really know about. The Z9 isn’t really something for everyone. Cameras have so many options and menu settings that it is easy to make mistakes. It helps if your comments about the shortcomings of a camera are based on the actual camera’s limitations not your own oversights. That said the Z9 is a minefield of choices and having lots and lots of choices often complicates the photographic process. I am still weighing up my Z9 experiences and working out how to use firmware 3.0 - I am still finding it a brilliant camera.

  • @chadolson5537
    @chadolson5537 2 роки тому +7

    Jared, you will probably never read this or respond back to it, but thank you first as you helped me decide on the Z9. It just checks all the boxes for me. Also, thanks for the suggestion about Allen's camera as that is where I found it. I have been shooting wildlife for about two years now on my Canon 80d and absolutely fell in love with it. I know you diss birding photography, I'm not sure what kind of birding your referring too, but I think the best way to understand wildlife photography is to immerse yourself in it. I am a disabled veteran and get a tremendous amount of peace from it. I love being away from people and capturing a mallard duck landing in a slough or taking off. It is just magical, and I'm talking in the wild, not at the local park. I take pictures of whatever I find and that includes squirrels, deer, moose, pheasants, and hopefully some day bears and elk, etc. I would love to take pics of polar bears and artic foxes also. Being from North Dakota, hunting and fishing is in my blood. We have done it as long as I can remember, and now thanks to my college photography professor I can add photography to that list also. Photography is such an open book to me as it is not limited to just wildlife, but it is by far my favorite.

I think a lot of the fun is being able to track them and get the shot when they are flying through the air.

  • @thesharpercoder
    @thesharpercoder 2 роки тому +18

    Fro, I think if you want the camera body to re-adjust the Aperture when you switch out the TC, then I would think the camera would need to be controlling the Av for that to happen. Tv mode.
    If the camera is in M modes, how is the camera supposed to know that it should override your manual settings. Do you really want to give the camera that power over your settings?
    Dang if you do, and Dang if you don’t. Toss up, IMHO. To each his own, I guess.

    Jared you should come down to Cape May one day during the Hawk migration. It's insanity with all the bird photographers. I'm a local and I've never done it before until this year and every older photographer had a 400 or 600mm lens. It's pretty entertaining to watch when they yell out what kind of bird is flying by and everyone points their cameras at it. However, I quickly discovered that they don't take too kindly to someone yelling "Pterodactyl!" but I still did it anyway.

      In general, you should probably purchase all this kind of gear used. They last forever, and you can save thousands.

I own it and love it, but would not really need it if this lens has the built in teleconverter; is it just as sharp as the 800 when using the TC? (Obviously it's a little heavier though).

    Great review - good illustration of the maxim that if you have to ask what it costs, you probably can't afford it.
    Off topic perhaps but I was curious about the use of the word "Skittles" as it is a registered trademark but from what I read, and I am not in any way qualified to render a legal opinion, the use of this term would only be an infringement on the trademark if it were used to describe a candy.

      Next version of Z7 would surely have 8K 30p in order to compete better with the R5. Fast scan rate would also be beneficial to enable 20fps+ ES. Not sure about the dual Type B card slots in a prosumer camera however.

    And there it is... This guy STILL hating on Z9. The Z9 AF is better in certain situations then the A1 and the R3 and not as good in other situations. In reality, they are splitting hairs and there isn't anything I can't get that my friends get with their Sony or Canon and vise versa. But Jared just keep showing what shitty character he has and just keep putting out bad info on Nikon and the Z9 specifically. Z9 shooters don't have the issues he talks about. Maybe he should shoot it more and actually learn how to use a Z9

    I crack up when I see all these UA-cam photographers pushing the exact same details that a manufacturer wants at the exact same time when magically a 15k lens shows up at their doorsteps at the exact same time. Literally no one cares about the weight of this lens. The d model, vr model, ef model, z model… whatever. You aren’t handholding this so couldn’t care less about 1lb weight savings. If you want to make that remark then go out on a 30 mile hike In The Appalachians at 14 degrees F and then I’d put some stock in weight savings claims. I own the VR version and never once even thought about the weight. I’ll never convert to mirrorless because it offers me nothing. I was happy with the 11 AF points of the d2xs at the race track… never held me back. Kids these days all want the wsywig laziness and eye autofocus lions and tigers oh my.
