First time out with the Z 800PF other than my backyard, had a few minutes at a Florida wildlife area yesterday. Really pleased with sharpness, and how easy it is to handhold on my gripped Z7II. Of course depth of field is paper thin at close magnification but what’s in focus has gratifying detail. These are all processed to taste in LR and most are cropped (800mm is definitely not too much focal length on fullframe for me).

12.8K iso? What's your post processing workflow like?
Yep, I don't like it to get that high and several snuck by me. I had the shutter speed up around 1/800 to try and get them just taking off and forgot to put it back.
Anyway, I use Topaz Denoise 1st, then photoshop (camera raw) and play with it a bit just a little texture, clarity and sometimes vibrance. That's mostly it, if I think it needs a but of sharpening I do that with topaz as well, I use Topaz AI now since it's faster! Anyway DeNoise cleans it right up!

Splendid waxwing shots, George. Captured and processed beautifully.
