I placed an order on 4/27 and was glad to see an email from Nikon this morning saying that my lens order will be shipping soon. 👍👍

As an aside, I would think any arca-swiss type plate would work with your tripod. I bought an inexpensive 120mm plate from Amazon for my tripod (Innorel). Harwerrel 120mm Quick Release Plate Fits ...

Agreed!

I did a few more quick tests this morning in better light of the same picture in my living room I used last night and I am seeing a much better hit rate than I used to. Promising; I am also seeing ...

Installed v1.4 on both my Z6ii & 7ii. Install was straight-forward with no issues. Just finished some prelim testing using a picture in my low-lit living room. I found AF-eye acquisition using the ...

How do you feel about a 3rd party lens (Viltrox)? Viltrox makes a 23mm/1.4 AF for Z.

Expected behavior, for sure, for Focus priority. I agree with the reply below; maybe try better lighting. I've also experienced sluggish focus performance on my G2 Z6 & 7 in low light conditions ...

One setting you may want to double-check: Custom Settings menu, A1. Check if you are set for 'Release' or 'Focus' priority. Release - takes the shot regardless of focus Focus - takes shot only when ...

Thanks for the heads-up! Firmware updated!

Re-Edit of my 2022-Jan-03 shot of the Orion Nebula. Tried to pull out more color from the image. Orion Nebula 2022-Jan-03 - RE-EDIT RE-EDIT of my 2022-Jan-03 Orion Nebula photo

With winter in the northern hemisphere, the winter constellations are out for photographing. I always try to get some shots of the Orion Nebula during the winter, so this season with my new Z7ii, ...

Went out for a late night photo trip with my Z6ii and 14-30, as well. I was looking to capture some Christmas light nightscapes. Used a tight aperture on purpose to try and get some sun stars on ...

... Venus Maybe the last pic for this past week. While I was out trying to take a pic of Comet Leonard last night (battling 40-50mph winds), I happened to catch a glimpse of a plane passing under ...

Agreed. Same experience here w/ a Z7ii & TC-17/II Here's a Flickr link to a pic I took recently: Bald Eagle on Belle Isle, 8-Dec-21

I believe I answered that.

Referencing back to another response above, I would tend to agree with you if Ricci's work did comparisons between Nikon's products vs other MFRs. But to Ricci's credit, he doesn't. He may make ...

I feel part of that may be because the lens he has is most likely a pre-production model. I would expect a typical full review once production models are available.

I feel that landscape and candid photography are different ends of the spectrum. I'd say 90-95% of my photography is landscape (landscape, cityscape, nightscape, etc). So I like having my Z6ii & ...

I feel part of the answer to that lies in how a user sets their AF-C Priority (a1) in the menu. While I try to be steady with my camera when in that mode, I do tend to move the camera a little bit ...

Maybe not so weird - especially since Sigma makes one - but I like the idea of the 60-600mm. It doesn't even have to be "S-line" quality; a decent variable aperture f4-5.6, or -6.3, would be fine. ...
