    Hi to all of you!

    I just published a short Nikon Z8-first impressions review on my website:
    After three years Canon, back to Nikon... Nikon Z8, the camera that made me change my mind.

    If anybody is interested or has questions, I'll post my answers on this forum.

    Kindest regards,

    I agree, as I wrote:

    "...Changing brands is not only an expensive operation, but it is also a bit like changing lanes in a traffic jam: Once you change lanes, the one you were in before starts moving.."
    One week after my brand switch, Canon released that kind of lens I was waiting for...

    But I am happy with my move.
    Always loved Nikon, it feels like coming home.

    Kindest regards,
    Stany

    Thanks.
    An update:
    I had the Z100-400 Γ nd the Z180-600 till yesterday. Sold the 180-600 because it feels too (front-)heavy and the 100-400 is sharper and focuses significantly faster.
    I bought the Z 2X TC and I am amazed about the AF speed. MUCH faster than the RF 800 F11 I used to have on my R5.
    First tests (on tripod) gave me crisp test shots with the Z100-400 and 2xTC combo.
    F11 is workable in good light. --> www.nikonuser.info/fotoforum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=4537

    With the 800/11, Canon sells an illusion of reach.

    Many people including professionals who used the RF800 F11 were amazed about the RF 800 F11 sharpness...After 50-80 real-life test shots, unfortunately, the Z 100-400 + 2x TC combo doesn't come anywhere close. --> www.nikonuser.info/fotoforum/viewtopic.php?p=11490#p11490
    Related to IQ, the Z 100-400 on its own is fantastic, the Z 100-400 + 2x TC combo is not.
    I would love to see Nikon make a real lightweight and sharp 800mm like the RF 800 F11.
    I have to convince my wife that I need the Z 600mm F6.3...
