I have some experience with the 180mm AF (but non-D) from 15 years ago on DX with 10 MP (D80). I really liked the overall appearance of the pictures; really nice bokeh wide open; but even on 10 MP ...

Yes, this is true. The 58/1.4 seems to be a nice specialty lens. Would love to test one.

My exemplar of the AF-S 200-500 delivers - under ideal shooting conditions - enough resolution even at the tele end wide open to satisfy me - as dedicated pixel peeper - on the Z7. Therefore, I ...

In this case I wonder if the camera -- despite the erratically high ISO -- keeps the set shutter speed without causing overexposure.

For my glasses, I usually use the Zeiss lens cleaning swipes. They also don't contain ethanol or alcohol. Most likely these products are related and are really "safe". However, my "gentle lens ...

I have recently made a very sad/bad experience with gentle lens cleaning fluid intended for high-quality glasses and therefore - I guess - in principle safe for plastics, rubber, etc. I used it on ...

What really fascinates me are all the smaller galaxies in the background when I look at the first image in full resolution.

Such vast space, such a sense of wonder....

How have you set the "target" of auto ISO? A specific shutter speed or a setting relative to the focal length? If the latter is true, and if you have set a factor of four to decrease the shutter ...

I agree. And in addition to a better processor, faster sensor readout (higher rate) and maybe better sensitivity of the PDAF pixel arrays may be required as well for considerably better AF. I also ...

This is exactly why I also bought an FTZ II in January: Handling is so much better without the lump. I'll keep the FTZ I for those rare occasions when a second adapter might come in handy. Smart ...

After reading many arguments here, I have voted for "crop factor" because one can easily calculate equivalence values for focal length and aperture values (reg. DOF and light gathering) based on...

I like the last one the most. Thanks for sharing. I guess that these are cropped versions of the original images...?

@panther fan
I don't need a dedicated dial for this, but I agree that it would be very nice to switch between the Auto ISO "shutter speed tendency" settings at least via one of the usual "press...

Nikon Auto ISO has this on the more advanced cameras for a long time.

Meanwhile I own both the Z6 and Z7 for a couple of months (the Z6 soon to go). Therefore I can answer the question now by myself. Here it is: The Z7 behaves in DX mode like in FX mode reg. the ...

I use the AF-S 24-85 VR on my Z7 with nice results. I have a large stable of F mount lenses which I don't want to replace, therefore the FTZ (II) is "glued" to my Z7 which serves as a mirrorless F ...

They shouldn't be so OCD about the perfect alignment of their lens. Just go out and take some pictures! ;-)

(sorry for this distracting reply to a reasonable question...)

I second that!
