Superb.
Thank you all
All of the photos (except the landscape one -- that one is a view from my balcony) were taken in Bavarian forest in Germany. I had with me the Sigma 60-600mm and the Nikon 200-500mm. I ended up buying the Nikon. The Sigma was a bit softer and the VR is better on the Nikon. At least when comparing those two copies. I'll dig up some Sigma shots as well.
And now it's later
This one took me a bit by surprise....it's a tighter frame than I would have liked:

Fully extended and stopped down just a bit....I felt like I benefited from stopping down, but I could leave the Nikon wide open and be satisfied with the sharpness:

Great set! Looking forward to getting out and about with mine again.…..a couple more
#7 Castle Howard itself. Had to wait until mid afternoon until the ice on the lake had melted sufficiently to give some nice reflections.

#8 Castle Howard with the Z 85mm f1.8 S. I absolutely love this lens for portrait type shots, but the quality it gives stopped down as well is just fantastic!

Apologies for the picture heavy post, but as Andrew said above, just trying to keep the thread alive
Cheers,
Simon.

very glad as well to hear that's out of the way now and that everything should improve from now on.Just an update on my prostate cancer treatment if anyone is interested. I finished the radiotherapy on Friday, and got to ring the bell. Now to deal with the side effects, which include lethargy (nothing new there), and interesting goings-on round the back (and I don’t mean in the shed). Onwards and upwards!
Afternoon All
anyone had issues like this with a Z7 on recovering shadows ? I know issue where reported trying to pull 4-5 stops but this is only 2.5.
was taken on a tripod, timers, electronic fC.

the first of the three bears has a superb expression on Mum and baby's faces. I'm curious what that string-like thing is between the two - I'd try to blend it out if possible as the photos certainly merits it.
Was your brother on radiotherapy or did he opt for the surgery?pleased to hear you have got over that hurdle Stephen.
My brother is about 2 months ahead of you. He says he feels much much better these last few weeks.
Good news - just one step at a timeJust an update on my prostate cancer treatment if anyone is interested. I finished the radiotherapy on Friday, and got to ring the bell.

Doesn't look good, haven't seen anything like that with mine. How many stops recovery is +91 shadows?Afternoon All

Beautiful shots Simon. Clean sharp and nice sunstars. I really fancy that Z7 and 24-70 f4 combo. I would be happy with that set up + the FTZ adapter and my current lenses I think.
Great set! Looking forward to getting out and about with mine again.
That’s fantastic to hear, I hope the side effects wear off soon.Just an update on my prostate cancer treatment if anyone is interested.

Not dissimilar to mine. 1 hormone injection (which lasts 3 months), then 20 days radio, alongside another hormone injection.He had hormone injections for a month or two then radiotherapy for 6 weeks.
Then he is on hormone injections for 12 months post radiotherapy.
He came down for our sister’s funeral 2 weeks after radiotherapy finished and the travel from and to Cumbria and the funeral left him knackered.
Two months on he’s feeling much better and energetic.
He’s 74 and otherwise pretty fit
