Hi everyone!  I hope you are enjoying your Z9s after the latest update!  Things have improved drastically with this update I believe and so most of the glitches reported above, are no longer an ...

Yeap, the F4 is totally compatible. The link is for the F4.5

Well.. practice continues and persistence pays off, I guess.  I feel I am in a much better place from where I was a couple of weeks ago.   More findings and shots coming soon... @500, F4, 1/3200, ...

It certainly is and in support of the Z9, especially for longer distance shots, the Z9 produces a clearer result (with the Sigma 500 F4) and a higher keeper rate in a burst (IF and when the AF ...

Whilst I admit that only 2 weeks with the combo, are not enough to make a safe conclusion, I am personally not convinced that the lens works as it should with the Z9 and that there might be some ...

Hello and sorry for resurrecting this older reply. Please let us know how you are finding AF so far with the combo, as I do have my concerns on AF compatibility after 2 weeks of usage.

I have been playing around the preshoot 30FPS JPG feature that came with the latest update.  JPGs are not my cup of tea, but I did get some usable results (it was overcast as well, so I guess we ...

OK I have played with the combo in the weekend and here are some 50%-100% crops of my shots. 100% crop - no TC 40% crop - no TC 80% crop - no TC 80% crop - backlight - no TC

I will try this. Is there any compromise by enabling this? I have tried more or less all of them today. I couldn't quite believe that it was missing focus on a clear sky or when the BG was somewhat ...

Yes I got it in airplane mode straight away. The thing with the VR, is that I had customised it for snappier focus and it's a feature I wouldn't want to lose. I feel that the FTZ II is slightly ...

Here we go, first question: why is my OS constantly engaging, even whilst not focusing? This is annoying and battery draining. Can it be a setting?

For me it has to be one or the other, or I need to sell my other kidney as well. As such, I can't even think that a PF can replace an F4. Been there with the 500 PF and it was gone in less than a ...

FINALY!!!!! My Z9 just arrived, charging the battery now! Question - has anyone updated to the latest firmware?? Is still everything ok with the Sigma, after the latest update?? In any case, I have ...

Lesse P. that was fast! How much have you find it for, if I may ask? Have you ever owned a PF lens before?? I was thinking of doing the same, due to the weight and the longer focal length, but in ...

Thanks for contributing Daniel!! Very nice shots!!!  Please share more as you move on!! On that first shot though, it does seem that the Z9 locked focus on the nearest branches and not on the bird. ...

She is gorgeous and the shot amazing!  I have also tried some portraits and indeed the aperture in combination with the long focal length, give an amazing result. Can't wait to see more wildlife of ...

Oh cmon guys! Post something :p! Weather was great in the UK last weekend. I was there. Show us some mercy.

UPDATE: Ok I sold my 500 PF and now have something less than €3K sitting in my account, that secure some financing for the Z9. Now all I have to do is wait for the bloody thing to arrive. ...

Is your old lens a non VR one? Couldn't you test the Sigma with OS off / IBIS on? Wouldn't that show you if IBIS is adding +1 axis of stabilization?

Hi to all! Does anyone know if IBIS works with Sigma's OS? I know that in F mount OEM native VR lenses, IBIS is offering +1 axis of stabilization. Does this +1 extra axis works with the Sigma's OS ...
