Note that the TC on my 500 5.6 PF is the series II TC, *not* the newer III.
I hope the Exif shows that this is 700mm (500 and TC 1.4). These images were taken from a greater distance than I have taken any past close-ups. I had to back away from my flower garden and light cropping was done to adjust composition
AF with this Z8 is noticeably quicker than with my D850. I'm glad I kept the 500PF and love this Z8!
The image was converted from RAW with DXOPL 5. No sharpening.
male Monarch. Thankful that several more Monarchs arrived at my place last week (along 47th N lat).
