We all sit differently on the tools>jewels spectrum. For me the 200 f/2 is a jewel of a lens and if you were shooting in conditions where 200mm at f2 was essential then it self selects. However, ...

First was taken over a week ago but I've struggled with how to process it to make a compelling image. This is the best I've managed. On that basis, I decided to try close ups this weekend. Not ...

I wouldn’t disagree with that summary. It’s not outstanding but neither is the 18-35. Solid is a fair assessment. This is interesting because mine has a plastic outer casing.

D850 for me. Have had both and the tilting screen and touch to focus make landscape so much easier, particularly with a low tripod. 45mp is a nice bonus.

Excellent. I assume you mean by applying a preset on import that includes lens profile? If so, you can still bulk apply that after import in the Library module by selecting the pictures you want it ...

Not in my experience. I have heard of some very poor examples of the 16-35, in fact there was a thread last week where the pictures posted were very soft even in the centre. But assuming you get a ...

The market is certainly heading mirrorless but it is unlikely that demand for DSLRs will completely disappear. The question is will Nikon milk the cash cow? Very little R&D or setup cost would be ...

Nikon Japan website shows: (1) AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR, On d iscontinued page (2) AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, On current product ...

Nikon haven't obsoleted my lens as my 80-200 would still work on my bodies so I didn't feel any reason not to buy another Nikon lens.

I would agree with this and it is what I use. One important point though is that camera must be updated to the latest firmware for CFexpress to work.

No. I'm suggesting that if he usually shoots at f/4 or 5.6 to get a sharp result, he can achieve the same thing with a Nikon 70-200 f/4 and in doing so retain AF, gain VR, save weight and save half ...

As many others have said, if you went down the Z6 route to image stabilisation it would be at the cost of AF on your 80-200. I had the 80-200D for around 20 years and it was a great lens for its ...

Likewise, but I think we'll be waiting until 2022/3 for either. At least by then a full range of Z glass will be available.

Indeed, a whole year return on sales of 3.9% compared with a loss of 12.5% in the previous year would be a very quick recovery. Let's hope it is correct because whether one is a Nikon user or not, ...

You may be right but I'd be surprised. Nikon is a business and businesses suffer when they ignore the market. They have done so with the mirrorless market to their detriment and their absolute ...

I have no doubt that the new Z cameras are a technological advancement but it is highly unlikely that I will buy one. I contend that it is possible to render a sharp image on the D850 sensor and ...

I have heard that partial differentiation and LaPlace transforms are essential parts of sailing. But to your point, I didn't accuse you of resisting science and maths, you accused me. I was merely ...

It’s an SLR lens forum. You ask that as if it’s me that doesn’t understand, yet it was you who answered a question about SLR lenses with a suggestion of a mirrorless body. You’re a screenwriter, ...

I never understand why people who have switched to mirrorless hang around the SLR forums banging on about how much better their cameras are. It’s almost like it pains them that some of us still ...
