Can you edit Z6 / Z7 files in CNX2...? My reason for abandoning it was that when the Z7 was released support for that camera was not given, so I had to install CNX-D.

Exactly. Not only that some cameras are not up to some tasks, but also some photographers overestimate the importance of gear and underestimate the importance of the person behind the camera. Good ...

I am not sure I understand what you want to say. Normally, the more expensive a lens is, the better it is. This is not necessarily always the case. Anyway, what's "soft" is not necessarily bad or ...

Again, you are wrong. There are VERY few lenses which (unless they are faulty) that are so bad so they are useless in capable hands. I think your conclusions about lenses are based on a myth that ...

Not really that simple. How about the contribution of the photographer, the subject, the light, the situation... and of course, the camera. All those matter. The Z50 is a DX, the Z7 is an FX and they ...

OK, what did you expect and what did you want to test? You ask one question, but basically, you are saying nothing and show nothing of any importance to draw any conclusions on our own. What do I ...

In that case you need to use a light meter, or trial and error, i.e. chimping, correcting, chimping and so on. You can't rely on camera automatic modes in every situation. Set the camera to manual ...

Those two deserve to be replaced, but if they work fine, why throw them away...? In my opinion you need two group of things: 1. A good pair of hiking boots and cloths for the weather, and of ...

I do have the necessary equipment to do that as well, including the 60mm macro lens, but I still prefer the use of scanners. Removing scratches is also much easier with the scanners I have, as ...

For color slides and negatives a scanner is the best in my opinion. I have a flatbed with back-lit film scanning function for fast scanning and larger than 35mm films and have a film scanner for ...

Are you sure that the hood is snapped on completely? Mine clicks in place very firmly an is not flimsy or flexing at all. Those other lenses you mention are primes and all are longer focal length ...

It is not at all about populism just because you didn't get the huge support you expected. Maybe something wrong with your hood or lens... that's another, more probable possibility, as opposed to ...

I don't get what your problem is with it. I had mine for over two years, it is my most frequently used lens and always use it with the hood and in my opinion  nothing is wrong with it. Sits tight, ...

There is no point in putting the camera into DX mode other than for the EVF. You can always crop the full frame image to any size you want.

I had mine since more than two years now. If I could turn back time I would still  buy it, but I can't turn back time... That's a known issue, and that's valid for the Z7 II as well.

...actually, the Minolta 7D had EVF already in 2004, long before Olympus.

If you ask that question today then I must say that you have missed several trains by now... :-) so you are "rushing" like a snail... Been using mirrorless ever since the release of Nikon 1 V1 and ...

That lens pretty large and heavy for being only a 300mm. It will not become a telescope, it will be equivalent to 810mm tele lens, just like any other 300mm lens would be. It will also not be ...

...but you can not focus with the zoom unless you have some extension tubes attached to the lens, so what is it actually you are trying to do...? I must admit, just like Paul, I don't understand ...

...you have to set them to expose equally. The way you did it is wrong, and the Fuji image is underexposed, too dark.
