I believe the lock switch you’re taking about was designed to lock the aperture ring for programmed use. It was lockable only at the highest f/stop. Those rings also had click stops on them. My ...

Prior to going mirrorless, I used this lens for 18+ years on both my film and digital SLRs, which included the D810, D610, D500 (my last DSLRs). The lens never squeaked, never needed a AF module ...

You’re right; useless for me and I should have made that qualification. Much of my photography is action oriented, and requires taking a picture as the action happens. That often means depending ...

This has been a pet peeve of mine my very first purchase of a Z S lens, which has both focus and function rings. The function ring is useless. On the Z 24-120 the, there is greater resistance in ...
-
Technically, both. But my D1x is taken out maybe once a year, if it’s lucky. All my lenses except one are now Z mounts.
-
Not much. Actually the z 24-70 f4S out performed the older F mount 24-120 f4G VR, only marginally. However, the z 24-120 is slightly sharper than the 24-70 f4 at comparable focal lengths. But, ...
-
Lens collars exist, because the weight of certain lenses can put a strain, on the lens mount , if not properly supported. The 24-120 is not such a lens.
-
Although the function ring on the 24-120 has better resistance to turning, it’s still a pain to use. Reason: one can inadvertently turn the ring, changing whatever setting you’ve assigned to it. ...

Good question. If I’m doing a shoot, the 24-70 plus the 70-200 VR s. If I’m just slumming 😀, the 24-120. The 24-120 is also my sideline lens for sports.

Prior to this model 24-120, I owned two previous models; the F 24-120 f4G VR, and the first 24-120 (non VR). I hesitated buying this lens, because previous models image quality fell off noticeably ...
-
That looks like a big lens! Evidently Nikon has been listening, because the Z 85 f1.2S doesn't have a OLED window. We saw this coming when the exotic teles and the 24-120 F4S also did without the ...

I would also consider a monopod. I use an Oben Ct2500, with a Markin Q10 ball head. I also have a Gitzo 1298 (no longer made) tripod. Both are light , but not cheap. It does have a tripod...that is ...

Perhaps there are better AF systems...in the sense that they do more for you automatically. But photography, meaningful photography, has existed long before AF systems ever did. I am more ...
-
The 14-30 is a must, as is a long lens...so the 24-200. But even the high ISO capabilities of the Z 6II, I would consider a third lens. I don't have the 40 f2 or the 35 1.8 (I have the 28, but am ...
-
If its the only lens youre carrying, the PD 10L Sling will do the job, while also holding a camera with grip, 4 additional batteries, at least 6 CFE cards, a couple of filters and a tripod. But I ...
-
Its a possibility, but I wouldn't wait for Nikon to do this. They have only one 1.2 Z prime and probably have a 35, and 85 1.2 in the plan...neither of which has been announced. They created 5 ...
-
I think you already have it, but it isn't a prime. The Z 24-70 f4s, is your best choice. Its a very good lens, even at its widest aperture, f4. If that isn't enough, and the z24-70 f2.8S is too ...
-
I had one on my Z 6. My motive for the purchase was to protect the camera skin from being destroyed by finger nails in the area between the grip and lens mount. It worked, but was an ...
-
There is still a price, size, and weight difference between a FX and DX cameras. What didnt happen with the D1 a DX camera (in 1999), was an introduction to DX lenses, which finally occurred 4 ...

Didnt realize you live in UK. Sorry, cant help.
