Thanks for this video. I have been using the Z 800 lens on my Z9 & Z8 for almost 2 years now and absolutely love it. I am a little surprised at your comment at around 19:35 where you say that it doesn't seem to be much better than the F-mount 200-500 lens. I traded my copy of the latter when i got the Z800 and fell the new lens is significantly faster and sharper than the older lens. I now also have the Z 180-600 and regularly go out with the 800 on one body and the 180-600 on the other using a Black Rapid two camera harness/strap system. This puts the load on thge shoulders rather than the neck and despite being a not particularly fit 75 year old, find i can carry both cameras this way for several hours.
May have been unfair with the speed of the af. It maybe because I am used to the f4 which was super fast however noisy and at 5 kg heavy for my legs. I am enjoying the 800mm and will be doing a review in the future once I have had it for a while I am please so far.
