Moving to Mirrorless..
Sold my D800 and picked up a Nikon z7 refurbished. Mainly for landscape, art, macro photography. I really like the lighter form factor, I loved the D800 and was going to get the 850….
I haven’t had much time to shoot but trying to make time to do so, it’s hard this time of year as I like to use my boat too…

I was thinking when looking at the photos - "I sure hope he used a long lens!"
How do you like that Tameron lens in general? No blurriness at the edges, aberrations and the like?

^ I like the lens, but it is a little blurry around the edges in the lower f stops. So I normally try to shoot in good light at F8 or above. The auto focus is finicky. Tough to auto focus on a subject with a complicated background. Photos are usually a little noisy, but clean up pretty well with denoise in post. But it is the best big lens I could get for the price. Now $1400.

^ I was about 50’ from the moose in the top photo. Caught me by surprise because I didn’t see him until I got that close. I got the impression that i was getting too close. He quit chewing and just stared at me until I backed up.

@Ronstar the Nikon 200-500 is quite sharp, I found it sharper than the Tammy which I owned before. With f-mount lenses dropping like flies I’m waiting for a decently priced 600mm f/4. Right now they’re about $4K for a good used one…. I’ll wait..;’

Thank you. Looking at it some more I’m pleased. I should have shot this at f/8 and a bit longer exposure for better depth of field. Was a 20sec exposure but on a rock solid Gitzo tripod.
