I agree getting the Canon lens for the Nikon Z is sub optimal - compared to another Nikon lens. Just as an FYI the 24mm f/1.4g is available for only $300 more - very good deal I think: https://www. ...

Get the F-mount version only if you get it on a good deal used - do not pay retail price for it. I have the 24mm f/1.8 S as well as the Z50 but I have not really tried it as I have got it for use ...

Thank you for identifying my problem! Saves me a psychotherapy session this week. You have enlightened me and I am sure rest of the Nikon Z community - thank you so much! Yes - all my mistake. Have ...

Listening to the stuff whether this company will survive or not. Especially between Canon, Nikon & Sony - it is unlikely any of them exit in the next 5-10 years. Beyond that it is too much ...

You listening to that? Why? Also now that you have made your choice to Sony, how does it matter what happens to Nikon as a company? It is not as if Nikon is going to shut down tomorrow - even if ...

Exactly my point - Nikon has to make the camera business work while some Sony exec can say to it’s CEO the camera business is not worth spending any more time and money on. Exactly. For Nikon to ...

The above is a HUGE assumption. It may be even more likely that a big company cut entire unprofitable product lines while a focused small company try to make it profitable.  It is not as if Sony ...

Good to see you have an open mind about it. IMHO I think the existing customer mattered the most to Nikon's survival - they could not afford to lose any more customers than they already must have ...

What is there to not understand? Nikon had already one of the best or the best systems with respect to sports and wildlife photographers via D5/D850, big tele primes, big zooms. It may have got ...

Unless you need speed maybe make do with your SD card for a few months - till there is a sale on either XQD and there is good CFE compatibility. I have 3 Sony XQD cards - two 64 GB and a 120 GB - ...

Your comments mirror someone called elkhornsun - who mentions replacing RRS TVC-34L with Feisol CT-3472 on fredmiranda.com. I have a feeling he/she is your other avatar :). Of course, nothing ...

I will not go so far as saying the reviews are biased - but the dpreview reviewers focus on features which are not necessarily indicative what would be the right guide or usability to a consumer. ...

Same here - although I have started using it only recently. I have also found it very useful. I have found better results after doing the white balance changes on the raw (Nikon Z7 NEF) files in ...

(What else is there to say?)

1) What kind of photography do you do most? Mostly travel (landscapes/cityscapes). Occasionally portraits & birds. Usually do not use a tripod for portraits. For birds - yes if I am going out with ...

Yes - that was my feeling too. Otherwise it would not be the month-end date everytime.

On Amazon, it currently says: This item will be released on June 30, 2020. All for good as anyway not a lot of travel right now - maybe toilet paper will be easily available by then :)

I had the Gitzo 1542T - the model before this before I got TVC-24. It was useful - don't remember having problems with the feet coming off. If I had not sold it, I may not have got the TFC-14 when ...

Forget my advice so far. Get the Gitzo traveler 1-series with the Gitzo head (so your tripod folds around the head) - it is on sale now for a very good price ($600). Get a heavier tripod like a ...

I had gone to Hawaii for a vacation - and was shooting a landscape on a mountain - not near water or anything. But my lever release of the ball head got stuck while it was engaged to my D800e ...
