I don't understand some of the reactions either. I almost feel like I'm getting judged. That's not why I opened this topic. Yes, I have very specific reasons, but that's because I shoot like I ...

Btw, I do realise I may not be satisfied with the 24-85. I’d need to evaluate it. But if I go fullframe I have a few choices for a standard zoom. If Nikon would make a higher-grade 24-85 ish lens ...

Yeah I know. If it’s not clear by now (I hope it is), I’m not considering this move solely because the sensor is bigger than what I have now. I actually have an RX100 and indeed it’s very good for ...

It’s not recently. I took my D7100 and 3 zooms on a 5-month trip last year. I went light weight (just a 37 liter backpack and my photo bag) because the lighter you go, the more present you can be. ...

To which my question would be: "why do you want to?" "I want to move to FX because I want to FX" is a circular argument. But weight is not the only argument. Lens selection is another. That 85/1.8 ...

I got the idea for this topic after responding in the "One reason I went fullframe" topic. I'm still on crop, but I might be going fullframe. Though probably not for the reason you'd think. My ...

That's all that really matters.

I don't want to criticise your choice, and FF does offer some advantages. But if all you wanted was to get rid of the banding (which I totally understand), a D7200 would probably have sufficed as ...

What about event photography?

Suit yourself. But when I buy a camera, I'm not looking to buy a ticket into a community. I'm looking to buy a tool that solves problems for me in getting my photos. I got into Pentax because of ...

I just saw a thread titled “why should we go mirrorless”. I know that it can feel like that at times, but the assumption is false. Reviews about new cameras tend to generate a lot of hype, none of ...

@IdM Unless you’re using it on a Z6 or Z7 (with an adapter).

I hope you do, and I hope many others will sell theirs too, so I can buy one for cheap. ;)

PLShutterbug The article? You mean my comment? But you're right. It already didn't feel right to write "loose". And I'm Dutch, so my English should be good. :)

Nikon is being very smart about this, expanding into smaller, lighter and cheaper teles. Sony has a 400/2.8 now and they might expand into higher FLs to compete against, say, the 600/4. But now...

What I don't understand is that people say that a small buffer is a disaster, while XQD is known to be much faster than SD, and CF Express will be faster still. A buffer is there because the ...

Hmm, ok. TBH I didn't know much about that lens.

I agree that it probably won't sell in high numbers. The size, weight and I suspect price point alone make it not everyone's cup of tea. I also agree that f/4 is sufficient in many cases. I ...

It’s only 1 stop faster. But at the same time, I have f/1.8 primes and they aren’t really much faster from an f/2 zoom. This is a specialty lens. But it’s also an attention grabber for this new system.

Still, this is the way to introduce a new system camera. It immediately draws attention because there is no such lens yet, for any system (cmiiw). Nikon may say that the new Z lenses have almost ...
