A couple more advantages:  the lens hood is now more like the standard pinch cap - it no longer inadvertently falls off and is easy to carry in your shirt pocket.  Another advantage is that the Z ...

👍🏻

Whatever you might have gleaned from my post - I hope it helps.  I’m starting to realize that there are so many combinations - some of which have unexpected consequences - that I’m beginning to ...

Blame Nikon for unclear menu wording - as I mentioned in your other post, focus “point” is not the same as focus “position”.  To save/recall a lens’ focus position, please read my last comments in ...

It's not as clean as a toggle, but Fn3 can be assigned Focus mode/AF-Area mode via Custom Controls (shooting). You would have to press and hold Fn3 while you rotate the front command dial to ...

I understand. Have you tried using "Prest focus point" under options for Fn3? I'm going to try it now. Edit:  Sorry - doesn't work.   "point" is different from "position".  I can't get the "save ...

For your 500PF... set switch on lens to "MEMORY RECALL" position. Focus on desired distance and then press one of the round buttons closer to front of lens to memorize position. Thereafter - just ...

I think I agree with an earlier poster that you're the only one who can decide between the two...  in my case, I did trade the f/4 for the f/2.8 and never regretted it.  In my case, the 2.8 lens ...

Pictures are awesome - and so are your skills!  If I didn't know better, I'd be looking right now to buy a 400 f/4.5 myself.  :-)

I asked Thom Hogan this very question.  Not to say that his solution would work for everybody, but his answer really surprised me:  Z50 In fact this is exactly what he did for his recent Africa ...

Embarrassed, and take the point!  Unfortunately, the Z9 happens to be the only body I currently have.  BTW, I hope there was nothing in my post that implied the body used made any difference.  I ...

Agree - I saw that, too.  All shots were from Tuesday evening -to- Wednesday morning - I didn’t realize that the angle changed this much depending on when the shot was taken between moonrise and ...

BLUF: In my non-rigorous comparison of new 100-400S against the 500PF shooting last night's/this morning's Supermoon, the 500PF images seem to have the best (i.e., sharpest, most detail) quality. T ...

It'll be close... the hood has a maximum diameter of 11.4 cm.  Assuming that the Lowepro bag is padded and somewhat flexible, it's close enough that a fit test is the only way to know. :-D

This was discussed in an earlier post by Spartanwarrior about 3 weeks ago.  I was able to reproduce this issue in my Z9 + 100-400 but it was dependent on a specific combination of settings.  In my ...

Recommend you take another look at the Z 14-24f/2.8 - it's an entirely different lens from the f-mount 14-24.  It's the same size and weight as your 16-35, but you get f/2.8, less distortion, and ...

They appear to be in stock at major U.S. stores right now - hopefully Nikon was able to resupply globally.

I also tried more lenses: 14-24Z, MC 105Z, and the 500PF (via FTZ).  The only camera+lens combo that refused to fire was the 100-400Z- BUT... ONLY between ~250mm and up to 400mm.  Below (approx) ...
