800 f6.3s pf

Many post have been written about these two lenses. I wonder: If money is not the killing argument, which lens would you prefer to shoot in the range of 800mm? Which would you chose in the range of 1000mm: 600 TC + 1,4 TC or 800 PF + 1,4 TC? Self shooting with the 800 PF and I am quite...

I'm primarily using a Gitzo Series 4 monopod and a Wimberley MH-100 with my Z8 & 800 pf combination, and this is working great; I can go for miles comfortably with this setup. However, there are times, like when monitoring a tree cavity for owls, when having a gimbal would be much easier. I own...

Hey Everybody - When I rented the 800 pf lens a few months ago, I attached an inexpensive plate to the Nikon foot. It wasn't a perfect solution and there was a little bit of play in the connection, but what I experienced was how comfortable it was to carry the Z8/800 pf combination by the foot...

Got to photograph a small group of Mountain Bluebirds today (first time for me) - they're just passing through the Lower Mainland on the way to breed in south-central British Columbia. :) Z9 + 800PF. Mountain Bluebird by Luke S, on Flickr Mountain Bluebird by Luke S, on Flickr Mountain...

Here follow a selection of images taken over the past several months with both lenses, with/without their respective teleconverters. I have built up a sizeable database since mid 2022, when time and conditions permitted. I took all these primarily with the aim of trying to define the...

While a fully loaded battery usually is worth a full day's work, I had emptied a battery using my Z9 and the 800mm S PF after some 450 shots. What are your experiences? Is this normal, because autofocusing this big lens comsumes more? I was out for birds, thus having long distance and closer...

Thought I'd share this here. I'm very new to video, and this was my second time out with the 800mm PF. Lots to learn. I really never was very interested in shooting video, but I now think it's a super tool in the kit for when the light is very limited, when the background is cluttered or not...

Not interested in brand bashing, I am interested in best image quality. Based on current availability and for a relatively matched budget, with some future proofing in mind, which would you choose. Nikon Z6/Z6II + 800PF or Sony A1 + 200-600G, these work out roughly the same cost, ie about...

Has anyone found a neoprene cover yet? It's probably too recent for a product to have been designed... I've emailed OutdoorPhotogear, UK as much prefer their high quality Lenscoats, decent prices too.

After speculation and anticipation, with pre-release rumours etc, there seems to be widespread interest in this unique telephoto.
