What a fitting testimony to the image quality of the 50 f1.8S! (also the silent-shooting capabilities of a Z7) deployed by Sergey Gorshkov to depict this endangered Siberian Tiger scent marking a Mandurian pine. This is the overall winning photograph in WPTY 2020 https://www.nhm.ac.uk/wpy/gallery/2020-the-embrace?tags=ed.current
"Nikon Z7 50mm f1.8 lens 1/200 sec at f6.3 • ISO 250 • Cognisys camera-trap system"

xpost from the z images thread, first two wide open and the last one with an 18mm extension tube (and aperture probably a bit too small leading to diffraction, but you get a feeling of magnification options using extension tubes)
Question for the 50 1.8S owners. How audible is the focusing motor? The 24-70 2.8S is practically dead silent. I'm finding the 50 1.8 to be about as loud as adapted F mount lenses. Is this normal?
In an effort to make my Z and 50mm combo a bit smaller to handle, I've been trying out a metal square hood. It does a bit less with regard to blocking direct light coming in the front of the lens, but the tradeoff is saving an inch off the front and having a somewhat handsome shape/look.
