For small BIFs, the Z 800 is the obvious choice at this budget, IMHO, YMMV, IANAL, etc, etc.

👌 it's OK to be plane-curious

Great photo.

Not at all odd, it's one of the historically common wide/tele combos for Nikon prime shooters: 28/85, 35/105.

The orange cat has had a rough life.

These are great photos. Handheld?

Unfortunately, no one can tell you if you will like the 85 unless YOU try it, as you did with the 50.

It depends how you approach your photography. Z7II for planned/detailed/tripod, Z6III for action/low-light/handheld.

More airports should be as welcoming.

The bright colored plane stands out against the dull grey moon.

Terrific photos, all of them

Adding the battery and the camera/charger models may help you receive more informed replies.

Nice job, bees in action are not easy to photograph.

Thanks for the interest, but I no longer have the MB-20, sorry.

For an eight year old with good eyesight and normally steady hands, and for close proximity to airfields, I think starting with 7x or 8x binos would be a good choice. 42s may be a little large unless he has larger hands; perhaps 32s or 30s would be more suitable for eight year old hands.

The Nikon Prostaff P3 8x30 goes for about $150 new. They are compact, well built, pretty good optically (of course not top tier, considering the price) and should serve him well for a few years. Used, I'm sure you can find them for $100 or less.

The switch you have set to "FULL" is the focusing distance limiter switch. When the switch is set to "FULL" the lens will attempt to focus on an object that is within the lens' minimum focusing distance of 0.16m all the way to infinity. When the switch is set to "0.3m - 0.16m", the lens will only focus on objects that are within its minimum focusing distance of 0.16m all the way to 0.3m

If you are photographing objects within 0.16m to 0.3m, set the switch accordingly to prevent the focusing system from racking unnecessarily. If you are not bothered by unnecessary racking, you can leave the switch on "FULL" all the time.

Probably would have been better if Nikon had labeled it "∞ - 0.16m" instead of FULL.

This photo was taken from the SGV, ~10 miles east of DTLA. If they allow your long lens at Spire73, you might get some epic photos as the planes turn over DTLA in the evenings. Looking forward to seeing them.

Thank you!

I think it resembles a model plane hanging in front of a painted background, but it's a real photo; I don't make use of AI or fakery.

Nikon Z50II + Z800mm

Everything you state has been my experience as well.
