Friday photo trip to the mountains. Early start, 3 hours drive, 3 hours walk around for shoot and back in town in the afternoon. The best way to spend my day off.

My Z6 goes down  only to ISO 125 when set to ISO Auto and never to ISO 100, no matter how much the light , respectively how fast  the shutter speed is. Any idea why? I have noticed similar ...

Up in the mountain near my city.

The AF-P 70-300 is significantly sharper and also faster than the previous versions, 2 or 3 of them as far as I know, that tend to be soft. I bought it for my Z6 but found out that with the D7500 ...

This combo is providing better IQ than Z6 with the same lens, in case the light is sufficient and the ISO kept at 100. Tested.

That's true, but I don't want to compare the optical properties of D7500 and Z6, the result would be clear. I want to compare the real life image quality of my photos when I need to use the 70-300 ...

Because 200mm on a crop sensor of D7500 equals 300mm on the FF Z6, in case you want to make one and the same shot.

After all I made my own tests and would like to share them with those of you that are interested. Test set up: One and the same photo, tripod, shutter delay 3 sec, f9, single focus point, at one ...

Z5 focuses much slower in low light than Z6, tested. And also comes with a 24-50 kit lens, which is not top optically, while Z6 comes wit the superb 24-70. I'd never wonder.

No opinions on that issue?

I'll install the trial version and see if I'm comfortable with it, thank you.

Please give me your opinion, how will that be. I have these two bodies and prefer to keep the 70-300 on the 7500 and use 24-70 or 14-30 on the Z6. My way of thinking: 1. 21Mpx on a cropped sensor ...

Comments and critique are welcome!

Thank you for the input! I did't miss it but the clamp you're using is not fast release and I want to escape from winding/unwinding the secure pin.

After some walk around the shops here I'm sure there are no fast-release clamps that can take an L-bracket, only plates, arca or PL200. What I'm afraid is I'm almost sure that any L-bracket will ...

Actually my point is not to connect the Manfrotto head with arca-type L bracket but to escape from the Arca Swiss quick release mechanism since it's not really quick like the Manfrotto RC2.

Manfrotto's L bracket is huge for a Z6 and doesn't have openings for the battery door and cable release which makes it unusable for me. Thanks for giving me the idea that there is lever-operated ...

Can you provide me with  a link or producer company to check this out?

I want to buy an L bracket in order to be able to position the camera vertically on a tripod and eventually to extend the surface of my grip. Since Manfrotto quick release is the most comfortable ...

Snow in the mountains ...and dull winter all around
