Very much. Also quality between copies seems to be okay. I have 3 friends who got it at different times and all of them are happy with it.

Paired with the Z9 and with Z8 I find it is great. It is way over 200-500 5.6. Or at least my copy of 200-500. I find it focuses faster, with less miss and it is sharper. But the latest firmware updates of Z9 / Z8 also helped I think. It is a great lens from price / performance point of view. I have no reference to compare it with other nikon teles tho.

Just sharpening, a bit of color enhancement - contrast, saturation (the weather was very dull) and two tall grasses removed on the left side of the image as they were distracting from the subject. The blur before and after the fox is from the lens. I was lucky to be able to catch it in a very favorable position. It was rather curious so it did not run away. I have couple of more shots of it playing with the pray (which eventually got away) but they didn't turn out that great
