I have a question for Z cameras. Recently i saw a post on Instagram where an owner of a Z9 mounted a Sony 200-600 lens on the Z9 body and is super impressed with the performance. The post did say that there is a trick to do this and would post a video explaining, this hasn't happened yet.
I have a Z6ii and use a Nikkor 200-500 lens for bird photography. I find the Z6ii and 200-500mm combination not an ideal combination and i am looking for a better combination.
My issue with my current combination is three fold;
1. the focal length is a bit short and i think ideally one needs 600mm or more for bird photography. (i also have a D7500 which is crop sensor, and with this lens combo, the maximum focal length which is 780mm which is great for bird photography but i want to use the Z6ii for many other reasons)
2. the autofocus on the Nikkor 200-500mm lens is too slow and i often miss a good shot because i cannot get the lens to focus, i have to use the manual focus ring and then autofocus, by then the subject is goodbye.
3. the third issue is regarding birds in flight. I use Dynamic for BIF, but i cannot get the lens to lock onto focus at 500mm which is really frustrating.
So now i am looking for a better lens to put onto my Z6ii. (i cannot afford the new 600mm PF)
The Nikkor 200-600mm is still on the Nikon roadmap, but this has moved out so many times, i doubt it will make an appearance in this decade.
Does anybody use a Z6ii and Sony 200-600mm combination?
if there is anybody our in cyber space using this combination, please can you post your thoughts and how did you get the combination to work?
