Approaching the Scene 189: Nikon 70-200 S vs 100-400 S + The Z TCs

(LINKS BELOW) This is one I’ve heard a lot of requests for. I’ll share some subjective as well as objective testing of Nikon’s 70-200 S vs the new 100-400 S. I’ll also test them with both of the new Z teleconverters and toss in a few comparative shots from my beloved 500PF F-mount lens on the FTZii adapter. Fun stuff.
