I have a 200-500mm and a 70-200mm that I use with my Z 7. I use an FTZ adapter. Both lenses work fine when the VR switch on the lens is turned on.
I just bought a Z 9 and tried these two lenses with the VR switch turned on and had horrible results. The AF is set to Single Point. When the VR switch is turned on, the VR stabilization mode immediately engages. When the shutter is depressed the focus point jumps to the left, and the result is a blurry shot.
The focus seems to work (no jumping focus point) when the lens VR is turned off. Does the VR on F lenses not work properly with the Z 9, or am I doing something wrong? The Z 7 worked the same as my D850.
This hand held shot was taken with the 200-500mm and NO VR.
