My Life as a Wildlife Photographer:    • I Missed a Great Opportunity with the...  
A little more that a week ago I received the new Nikon Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S telephoto lens - a pre-production sample.
I have now been photographing wildlife with the lens for several days from my photo blind and birds at the coast line of Denmark.

This is now review, but rather a video showing how the lens performs when it comes to autofocus with and without the Z 1.4 teleconverter.

See you out there...

All the best

    You are spoiling us Morten, two videos in two days. The close up Kittiwake picture was beautiful and crisp so I look forward to seeing how it does with some macro work of the lovely wild flowers in your garden 🙂
  • @nobodygnomes

    I love your videos and live stream. I notice in all of the videos you can see in your eyes and face the love you have for what you do. Thanks for sharing with the world.

    Such a well produced and shot video as always from Morten. I got a chuckle when Morten said “holy moly”. My Norwegian brother-in-law says that quite often as well when he gets excited and sounds just like Morten.

    I always loves your bird photography the way you capture the symmetry with subject is just awesome and i love that moment! Best wishes and lots of love

    The music in the opening segment takes me back to your 50 day expedition and it gives me a warm emotional feeling.
  • @madst7521
    By far the nicest of the handful or so 400mm preview videos so far.

    Thanks for another great video Morten, you certainly give us plenty to think about 👍
  • Lens looks like another winner but please tell more about the amazingly fast tripod fold down at 8:00.
  • @jorsetti
    Great video Morten! first time becoming aware of you and now subscribing! Beautiful work sir!
  • @picapica42
    You are really spoiling us with all these videos ;) Always nice to see the kittiwakes in action :D I was more intrigued by your tripod than the lens 😅 It seemed so easy to unfold and fold it.

    I placed a deposit with my local camera shop as soon as the first previews came out a few days ago. This looks perfect for my needs, thanks for sharing your fun bird photo experience with this lens Morten.
