Here are more images from the evening of my shoots in the first post, where I wasn't using the teleconverter, just the bare lens on the M6ii.
They are cropped, however not downsized ---- this is what pixel resolution looks like with the M6ii. For many of the ISO 320 and 400 shots I did not use DeepPrime, rather the default setting for High Quality de-noise --- which gave lovely results with nice texture and detail.
Pixel peeping at the full res images on my large 4k monitor, I see how incredibly shallow the depth of field is with this lens at close distances. Many more shots were slightly mis-focused, on a part of the bird's body but not quite the eye --- and they were not usable, just didn't have that sharpness that helps make the image pop.
The sandpipers in the first 5 images are tiny birds, just a few inches across, but I was close to them, within 20 feet or so. The lens makes them look like giants! With this lens I found that using the M6ii's 1-point AF (the larger single point) worked very well --- it would snap right to focus as long as I pointed it in the right place on the bird before shooting. The ability to use your thumb to move the focus point while using the EVF is such a useful feature!
These are indeed much better. Very well done by all parties involved! Lots of ins and outs in bird photography.
I still want to spend the winter on your beaches!! Been nothing but freezing rain up here.
Enjoy!

You and a lot of people. It is becoming not such a nice place to be.
People I know that have lived here their whole life are leaving.
