As I expect you know the D850 (and I presume Z7) does not focus shift with D type lenses.
All too well :-(
I've tried with a afs 500mm f4 D and it works...
You mean that when you try to enable the focus shift feature in the menu it allows you to do so with the 500 f4 D mounted?
Haven't seen any reason to try the focus shift feature with any of my D lenses since the most recent firmware update so I did and they still don't allow the focus shift feature so I doubt the 500 AFS D does allow the focus shift feature. If so, post some screens of the rig and the D850 menu and maybe some FSS images collected from the 500 D.

As expected. According to the manual, 'Use an AF-S or AF-P lens'. There is not mentioned any exeptions for D-lenses.
But the 200mm/4 micro will not work, because it is not AF-S or AF-P.

I also tried with a 17-35mm AFS D. It also works.

Perhaps you have something in your configuration that doesn't make it work.

Ok I think I get it. It's the AFS feature that allows it to work with focus shift. My 200 D micro is screw drive (AF) and it's those lenses that won't allow focus shift photography.
