Samples
The following images were taken with the Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR lens mounted on a 45MP Nikon Z8 camera. The images are RAW files developed in Lightroom 12.5/CRAW 15.5 from RAW to Adobe Color profile with the Adobe-supplied lens profile applied. Noise-reduction is set to 0, sharpening to 50/0.5/36/10. I applied exposure compensation plus some extra tone, color, or saturation adjustment to produce more pleasing images which are closer to what one would normally do when processing RAW files. All birds of prey were behind a wire-mesh fence, so there are some artefacts in these images. But all other images were shot without a fence or glass interfering.
The individual exposure details are stated for each image. All of my high resolution Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR sample images are available to download in their original formats for analysis at Flickr. These files are for personal evaluation only and cannot be used in another publication or website without permission.
