Yes, if it suits their requirements. There are those that also use the Z6, Z6II, Z7, Z7II, D850, D500, D750, D5, D6 and many other cameras and camera brands. As long as it suits their ...

Agreed. As I said in my post, the softness towards the edge is a field curvature thing, not the fact it is actually soft if you focus at the edge. In other words, it is actually quite sharp wide ...

This is probably a design consideration. When using f2.8 you obviously want it to be sharp where you focus the lens on a particular subject, say in the foreground and have the background not in ...

Well, the fact is, *anyone* who knows Nikon lenses would see that it was not a currently released Z lens. So, knowing full well that many people will pick up on the fact it is not a currently ...

I did point out in another thread that the 50 f1.2 and the 105 f1.4 had very similar DOF when keeping the subject matter the same size. However, some may mistakenly believe that the 105 at f1.4, ...

Thanks for that. Much appreciated. Thank you for the link. That backs up what I have been saying perfectly.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look and comment, Luka. What you have stated is all I was trying to achieve. :-)

It depends on what you are shooting and wanting to portray. You may want to pick out a single flower in a field and thus a longer focal length is possibly a better solution for that scenario. ...

Thank you very much, Joel. One lens shot at f1.2 and the other at f1.4, ie both wide open. There may also be a slight difference in T stop. Theoretically, the difference should only be about half a ...

Probably, but it was not really for that sort of bokeh, just general everyday bokeh and how much the background is put OOF in comparison to each other.

This was prompted by a discussion on my " I buckled, 50 f1.2S" thread where someone was claiming the advantages of the 105 f1.4E for blurring the background more than the 50 f1.2S. So, make up ...

I think you've just descrtibed the Z7II. The only real issue with the Z7 was the AF tracking, otherwise it is a fantastic camera. Yes there are areas that could be tweaked and menu itmes that we ...

It would be good to have one of your set function buttons to enable one of the actual focus modes *directly*. In my case, I have Fn1 button that activates the AF modes and then scroll through them ...

Actually it is the correct side. :-) It is left over from the horse riding days whereby everyone mounted a horse from the left side thus you stayed on the left and passed people on their right. So, ...

Stunning shots as always, Glenn!

Congratulations and a great shot!

Thanks for the info, Roy. If it does escalate, I will surely take you up on your offer of assistance. It has only happened twice so far and when it happened I know I was changing lenses and was in ...

I have had this same message a couple of times and I am not sure why. I think it might be for me inadvertently removing a lens while the camera was on or something like that. As you say, just turn ...

I'm scratching my head on this one as I don't find it an issue whatsoever. I mean, I get it that it's different strokes for different folks, but it really should be easy. Using your left hand: put ...

I agree wholeheartedly with all of what you have said, including the function ring. I used to have that function ring set to ISO, but have since turned that off due to easily moving it whilst ...
