That said some folks do use 400mm primes so with the right kit and patience they can work if you require big telephoto.
I often film mountain animals (ie...Dall's Sheep, Mountian Goats, Big Horn Sheep etc..), and I also film whitetail deer, often times in low light conditions. So yes, I do require super telephoto. I have adequate supports such as tripods, but I am more interested in knowing if f/3.5 will work in morning and evening light conditions on the Z7 and what the limitations will be? I shouldve been more specific with my initial question, but I didnt want to limit the responses.

I understand that the 7X factor will essentially give me 2800mm of zoom. How does that effect the light?

Thank you
