They absolutely did. But I am impressed with their mirrorless lenses, their continuing to keep up and innovate, dedication to firmware upgrades and soon they will have cheaper 3rd party lenses ...

No I wouldn't. ;) It is a phenomenal camera that routinely produces outstanding images and its form-factor allows me to bring it out into nature when photography is not my primary reason for being ...

I think that is definitely something you would need a chart for figuring out. I don't shoot charts... and when it comes to the Z lens you may as well ask me which one is more black ;)

Having not had it on my camera in a while, I was surprised how comfortable the 58 w/ FTZ felt. I am seeing it in a whole new light now, Some of my favorite portraits are from the 58mm on my Df. My ...

Forever working on my motion blur...

I greatly appreciate you taking the time for this post- great info.

Absolutely! At the expense of their 1.2's when they could have been concentrating on other things. check out the 1.2 vs. 1.8 thread.... An awful lot of, "no thanks, not justified" "boy I wish I ...

Thank you Robert. I think your response really illustrates my point. That we even consider sizing up the 1.8 vs. the 1.2 demonstrates how Nikon has undercut itself. In the DSLR days, those 2 lenses ...

Please understand where I am coming from. With Nikon DSLR's there was a measurable difference in 1.8 primes and the G 1.4's. This was both in build quality, performance and images. It was ...
