Just like humming birds, tricky to shoot but managed get this with a dated 200mm f4 macro lens, a very sharp lens but slow on the focus, but our friends at Nikon seemingly recons it is not economically worth their effort to update this wonderful lens for the Z systems. Pity is it not! Maybe one of the Chinese will step in this void and fill it with a decent fast 200mm lens. Its an old photo think 2017 but damn I miss that 200mm f4 on the Z8/9

Thx Callie. It was taken with Nikon AF Micro-NIKKOR 200mm f/4.0D IF-ED. Still have the lens with the D500 or D850 to go with it. Really hope Nikon wakes up and give us a Z version!
