I wonder and hope that the upcoming S mount lens for the Nikon Z cameras will be this body.

Nice shot. This looks like a Monarch Butterfly. Do you have a shot of it with it wings opened?

I use a jogging stroller with large wheels. Got it at a thrift store.

I am trying to set up trap focus. Step #4 states set focus mode to AF-S, is that the same as Autofocus mode restrictions AF-S or is there another place to set focus mode. Thanks in advance. REJ.

I have used it for several years and it works well for me.

Looks like a katydid nymph shedding its outer skin as it is growing.

Steve Perry's excellent video about the Nikon teleconverters makes reference to Teleconverter Compatibility Chart. I have been corresponding with Nikon and just sent this to them:
From my experience the Nikon AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED works very well with the TC-14E III, TC-17E II and TC-E20 III teleconverters on the Z 6, Z 7 and D500 cameras. The Compatibility Chart needs to be updated.
Also, the Z 6 and Z 7 work very well with the AF-S NIKKOR 80-400 mm f/4-5.6G ED VR, AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR and AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR lens with the TC-14E III, TC-17E II and TC-E20 III teleconverters. The Compatibility Chart needs to be updated.
This footnote on the Compatibility Chart: “Z Mirrorless Cameras - All the AF points work for Z mount system even at f/8 or f/11 maximum effective apertures. But AF accuracy may decrease and focusing speed may vary to subjects and shooting situations.” It is a correct statement, but it needs to be explained. Does it apply to all the above lens?
Maybe a separate Compatibility Chart needs to be made for the current and future mirrorless cameras. They will make the teleconverters much more usable.
As a side note, Nikon has been making excellent auto focus extension tubes for years. They just keep putting glass in them to make teleconverters. I dropped my TC-14E III and cracked all the glass. I removed the glass and it works great as an extension tube.
I would appreciate if other members check this out if you have the lens, teleconverters and cameras.

In 1967 when I was in photography school in the Air Force we used a 4X5 Speed Graphic with flash as part of our training. We started off with a huge wooden 8X10 camera. Loved these cameras.

Nikon DX AF-S 85mm VR macro works great for me. 85 mm gives you stand off distance for butterflies and other shy critters.

I have a nikon 500mm. It works very good, especially with the cameras that have focus peaking. Photos @

You also need to autofocus fine tune with each teleconverter. That should help some.
