I would consider the Sirui KX-20, which has a base diameter of 53mm.  I've owned the larger KX-30 for the past several years used on my Gitzo 2531, and it has worked flawlessly.  I also have a ...

I have my Z50 and D810 and have decided that both are far more than good enough.  I’m going to stop budgeting for new cameras and lenses and instead spend that money on travel.  Only when I ...

I second the Leofoto 284cex.  I would think your BH40 ballhead would work perfectly with it.  I have a Markins Q10 on mine.

I highly recommend the Z50 kit.  Both of the kit lenses are excellent, particularly the 50-250.

Thanks!-- Mike

Thanks Paul.  I do want light because I love the size and weight of the two kit lenses.

Thanks.  I was wondering if the p lenses are quieter than my older lenses I’ve used with my D300.

Thanks I’ll check out his website for that.  That’s the first I heard there might be one.

Thanks for your input.  I haven’t seen any rumors of one but I may have just missed it.  I am really leaning towards the 10-20 if it works with my z50.  I really want a lens that is relatively ...

Thank you for your input.  I would be shooting in that aperture range mostly too.  I really like the small size of the lens, but of course it will be larger with the FTZ adaptor than on an SLR camera.

Thanks so much for your input and for posting the sample photos.  The corners seem pretty good.   I looked at the Tamron one this morning but the $500 price tag is more than I want to spend on one ...

I have been looking for a wider angle lens for my new Nikon Z50.  All I have right now is the two kit lenses.  Has anyone used the Nikon 10-20mm lens on the Z50 with the FTZ adaptor, and does it ...

It was a good article and I can relate to most of what he says having shot with my D810 for six years, and picking up a Z50 in December.  They are quite a bit different and it's taken me a while ...

I got my z50 in December and can relate to everything you are saying.  While I like everything about the Z50, and the images are great, I still like using the optical viewfinder on my D810 better ...

While the 5 year warranty was reassuring and helped me justify to a certain extent buying new over used,  in actuality I've never had to have a lens repaired under warranty.  The one time I did it ...

The Nikon 16-35mm f4 is fantastic for waterfalls.  As often is the case with waterfalls you are limited in how much you can move around I really do think that a zoom is a better choice than a ...

After seeing how many tripods others have now I don’t feel so bad.  I have three currently. Gitzo Mountaineer 2531 -  Have had over 11 years.  Still my main tripod.  Gitzo makes the best tripods in ...

The leg angles in the top notches are narrower than on my Gitzo 2531 but I've found you can still open the legs up a bit, they just wont be in the notch and of course you lose a little height.  I ...

I went through a similar decision process when I bought my Z50 in December.  To save money I started to just get the 16-50 lens and an FTZ adaptor which I would use with my 70-200 f4.  But in the ...
