@Baron I don’t know what his motivations are so I’ll just ignore his comment. Mine was intended as a lighthearted remark with a bit of truth to it.

For sure they should release long Z mount lenses sooner or later. There is a 100-400 S and a 200-600 non-S on the roadmap. But that’s probably for next year. And they won’t be comparable with the ...

They fixed the aperture. So any previous lens’s aperture will be broken then.

I’m also a lousy photographer. ;)

The only way that vlogging is changing things for me is that maybe I’d like to use one of my cameras as a webcam for zoom meetings while wfh.

Hoping it comes with a free toaster.

Before I used Nikon I used Pentax. They have a 50-135/2.8 APS-C zoom. Now I have a Nikon 70-200/4 instead. The size is 77 x 136 vs 78 x 178.5 mm. Weight-wise it’s 685 vs 850 grams. So the Nikon is ...

From what I understand the shutter blades are actually more fragile than the sensor itself. You can probably touch the latter and clean the grease with some product. But from what I’ve heard ...

I watched most of it (skipped some narrow aperture comparisons). I don’t have a Z camera and am happy with my D750, for which I have a 24-120. The 24-200 looks good but I don’t think I’d buy it ...

Hi. I currently have a Sony RX100 (first model) that I use when I don't want to carry my DSLR. I have a Meikon underwater housing for that camera as I'm into scuba diving. I am looking to replace ...

My feeling is we might see a fast 35mm and a wide zoom in addition to the current 2 zooms and the planned 18-140. Maybe a bit more into the future but that’s far away. Nikon’s priority is ...

True, but whether or not you can get a sharp shot at 120mm and 1/100 says more about you than the lens. So maybe me saying I didn’t see a single image with motion blur is me bragging. ;) In any ...

Good that you found a lens you’re happy with. People should check out reviews on the 16-80 if they consider it. Please stick to talking about the 24-120 here.

True, but you lose an equivalent stop at the long end. Also I’m not sure how this is relevant to my review, but ok.

Makes me all the more curious about the upcoming 24-105 (or 120) f/4. I took my D750 and F-mount 24-120 out on a hike last Saturday and it did not disappoint! But I’m thinking that maybe I would ...

Went hiking yesterday with my D750 and 24-120 f/4 attached to a Spider Pro Holster v2. Took about 150 photos. Mostly landscapes but also some portraits (I went with some friends) and some ...

Curious, did you lose a bet or something? ;)

I was. But if you have to explain that (beyond the hints I gave) there is no point anymore. They either can’t relate to those “rules”, In which case the advice is not needed, or they don’t want to ...

I don’t have either system or even any mirrorless camera, but I’d rather have a standard zoom that starts at 24 than at 28.

Thanks. I’d have preferred to make it even more fantastical instead though. Oh well, maybe next time. :)
