I am amazed at how well the "consumer grade" Nikon 70-300 FF lenses render. Great image! :thumbs:

Hello Jack,I am amazed at how well the "consumer grade" Nikon 70-300 FF lenses render. Great image! :thumbs:
I actually understood that The optical designs obviously differ, though both perform admirably. (I am not certain how the CX compares to the newer AF-P DX version though -- they may be more similar than different, at least from all accounts it's excellent too.) I have the 70-300 AF-P FF version and am using it on my Z7 and it absolutely blows me away that a $600 4.3:1 tele-zoom can perform so well -- the MTF's are essentially identical to both current 70-200 AF-VR lenses, and I can bear that out based on my own experience with all of them! (FWIW, it also makes a very credible macro with the addition of a 1.8x, 2-element diopter -- an extra $100 filter to give me a very handy 2-fer in the bag ) I too am curious as to what the new 70-200 ZS lens will show, but it's going to have to be pretty spectacular to get me to take on the extra weight and loss of 100mm of zoom, let alone the 4x expense for gaining the 2.8 aperture!Hello Jack,
Thank you for your comment.
This was not the AF-P FF zoom - it is actually the Nikon 1 (CX) 70-300mm zoom, a stellar lens. Too bad Nikon did not continue with that system...
The AF-P FF zoom is indeed a great lens. During the next few weeks I will post more photos here with my AF-P FF copy on the D810, the Z6 and the Z50, while I am waiting for the 70-200mm f/2.8 S
