It was grey and overcast this morning, before the cloud moved away and it became bright and sunny. Great weather to put the Fujikon to the test. These were all taken using a Fuji X-T3 with Fringer NF-FX adapter and Nikkor 200-500mm lens #1 White-eared Honeyeater  #2 Yellow-faced Honeyeater  #3 Laughing Kookaburra  #4 Galah  #5 Little Wattlebird  #6 Red Wattlebird

Looks like you have it cracked Richard. Lovely images. So a 200-500 on an APS-C Fuji XT3 camera so x1.5 straight away to 300-750mm. Looks like you have got the AF working well. I guess you are using one up from smallest AF box and on AFS AF setting?. XT4 with IBIS will give further flexibility but no better quality. Pssst, dont tell Eric, he will be sorry he got rid of his XT3 but I am sure he is happy with the D850.

According to the Fringer manual, if you use a smaller focus point the focusing uses contrast detect. Some birds worked fine using the larger focus point, whereas others, the Superb Fairy-wren for instance would not focus. Luckily the bird stayed around long enough for me to change the focus point to the small one and it focused straightaway.

Although the IQ was very good there were aspects of the XT3 functionality I found less appealing.The D850 is superb camera but in all honesty more features than I am ever likely to use and heavy/bulky/expensive as a walk around camera...which tends to be my main requirement these days. Richard and Jeff's image are spectacular to see, but I fear my commitment to bird photography will never be sufficient for the application required.

I agree with you but I do find the XT3 a nice light camera to walk around with. The battery can be a limitation but that is easily solved by a second battery. The D850/Z7 really are superb cameras and I really dont push their capabilities these days.

I'm afraid I gone back to using my D3 and 4 for wildlife as I can't get away from the iq they produce. Yes there heavy but sometimes you have to have some give and take.
