I assume the above text in quotes is for the Canon 100mm macro -  I prefer Nikon’s 105mm Z micro to be just a macro lens without “DC” features.

Yeah, I guess you’re right... here’s what Nikon says on the Nikon USA website: https://www.nikonimgsupport.com/ni/NI_article?articleNo=000001237&configured=1&lang=en_US 1 year warranty on Nikkor Z ...

My warranty card shows the 1+4 year as shown below: I've deleted the serial # - mine is more than 19,000 units earlier than yours.  Also, Nikon could have changed their warranty policy since I got ...

I hope there's more performance improvements yet to come...  as for eye AF - I'm not interested - but I totally get it that it's important for a lot of other folks.  Where I would like to see more ...

For me, support for the Z7II was a welcome update.  I also like the PRIME and DEEP PRIME noise reduction for raw files. The v4.2 update seems a bit buggy, but hopefully, they’ll work them out.

The soft lens pouch for the Nikkor 200-500f5.6E (i.e., CL-1434) will fit the 70-200S attached to your Z6.  Photos below show my 70-200S + Z7II fitting in a CL-1434. CL-1434 sift pouch with 70-200S ...

That's a novel solution to avoid the possibility of inadvertently releasing the OEM foot from the lens  :-D   As the other poster already mentioned, the balance point is about 1.5" forward of the ...

Late to this party - but I may as well add my $.02 in... the lack of a V4 model helped push me to the EOS M6. Ultimately, the M6's lack of AF performance - as well as a menu system I just couldn't ...

The Z7II has a menu setting that allows it to remember focus position even after power off - then subsequent power on. Check SETUP menu (SAVE FOCUS POSITION). Caveat: not sure if this works with ...

Interesting - I never thought that operation of the aperture blades could cause a discernible sound.

To be clear - I found two different sounds: the “clicking” sounds heard by the OP, as well as the “ka-chunk” sounds I heard. I understand what you are saying about the “ka-chunk” noise - I am just ...

I can confirm that VR ON or OFF makes no difference.  In fact, I hear tiny clicking noises in all three lenses: 70-200S, 24-70S, and the 14-24S.  The difference among them is noise amplitude and ...

My bad - I apologize to DxO - I misread Nikon's FW 3.20 update with DxO's.  I should read more carefully.

Don, I take your point - I know nothing about software development - but... support for the Z6II NEFs was available just 10 days after camera release.  Could there really be that much difference in ...

I don’t know about an A+ for support - this doesn’t sound right. If your Z6_200-500+TC-14E NEFs were supported under PL3 v3.00 – and PL3 allowed you to update the FW to v3.20 – your ...

Just how tight is "sufficient enough"?  In my case, I "sufficiently" tightened the knob - then depressed the release lever and tried to slide the foot off.  To my utter amazement, the foot slid ...

Based on an earlier post of yours wherein you stated an intent to keep your D500 - I was going to predict that you would let it go sooner, rather than later.  But in this more recent post, you ...

I don't know the answer to your question - but I saw that list, too.  My thought was:  a lens I want isn't on that list  :-D   I would like to see a Z-Nikkor equivalent of the F-mount 8-15mm ...

Me three!
