A Z 100-400 arrived yesterday in a big brown truck.
Hooked it up to my Z9 and tried a few shots.
A cloudy, cool day. All shots had high ISOs.
The glass is very well balanced even at 400mm-lens barrel extended. Better than the 500pF. Even with my messed up shoulders the rig slews around quite well.
Download and enjoy. What do you think?
I was at Barnes and Noble Sun. One of the British mags (N-Photo I think) showed comparison Imatest numbers for the Z and F 80/100-400 versions. The Z numbers drop off in the 300-400mm range - lower than the F version. The shorter focal lengths were all better on the Z.
