I really like the small changes they are making to the design of the Z lenses starting with the Micros: (1) They changed to a new, larger S logo for S-graded lenses. The original logo was too small and ...

I’d been thinking about getting a Z50 as a secondary camera when it went on deep sale at some point. I never did and really haven’t considered it lately. The Z fc gets announced and I pre-ordered ...

It’s looking like every Z mount lens over 85mm might have VR. So far, that’s been the case. Also both DX lenses have it.

Yes, the non-S lenses are more plasticky in nature. But I find they look better in person and handle fine.

Funny thing is that it originally *was* a 60mm earlier on when it first hit the roadmap, and then changed to 50mm later.

Hi, as you can see from my signature, I'm a Nikon Z shooter. I was wondering if there are any good review sites or videos where Sony lenses are compared to other mirrorless manufacturers? Sort of ...

Ah that's right! Thank you. It'd still be nice to have Shutter Speed as well.

In earlier firmware, when the Control Ring was used for focus, it was way too sensitive. At some point they tuned it down and it has a great feel now. But when using the Control Ring for aperture, ...

I was exploring a few Sony cameras and came here to ask the same thing. Why are the colors of the A7R IV so different than any other recent Sony Alpha?

I bought the guide for my Z6, now I own a Z 6II. Is there any breakdown in the guide on how much was changed between the I and II? I figured it might not be worth a new purchase for me because the ...

I did notice while watching Finder in Mac OS that NX Studio will create a sidecar file temporarily for the JPEG, create the new JPEG, and then delete the sidecar. I wonder if there's a way we can ...

One thing I've noticed is that if you simply rate a jpeg, it counts as a modification, and NX Studio will regenerate the jpeg each time you do so. Yes, you can force it to keep originals if you ...

Just a heads up, it doesn't look like anything will actually be announced:

@fuzzydice The f/1.8s are one of my favorite aspects of this system. Weather sealed and higher quality than typical f/1.8s at a reasonable price for what you get.

Sony gets graded on a curve.

Another example is seeing reviews for this lens from the perspective for film/video and they don't even talk about the focus breathing at all.

Yeah I'd pay for Nikon profiles that match closely to Fuji Film Simulations. I wish someone offered something like that.

Are you using the ones from nikonpc.com?

Open the NEF and JPG in the Nikon software and if they look the same there, the difference you are seeing is Capture One not honoring the lens corrections data.

While I like to shoot more video than you, our use cases seem almost identical, and I love this Nikon Z system. Also, with you coming from Fuji, I think you'll like the jpeg rendering of the Nikon ...
