I found a used Tamron G2. 70-200 f2.8 and bought the tap in console and so far I’m happy with the results.   Thanks for all the replies and information

I had the Sigma Sport 70-200 but sold it, only because of the weight, optics were excellent on my Nikon Z6ii, but I found it was just too heavy on this retired body.   I purchased a used Tamron ...

Did you mention which Z camera you have? have the F mount 24-120mm.  It’s a great focal length for walking around/travel.  Some have suggested the 24-200, even though it’s not an F2.8 or F4, it ...

I have a Z6ii, I’ll have to check the manual, but I don’t believe mine switches to mechanical

Nice photos!  A teleconverter can be used with the Sigma 100-400?

I’m torn between these two lenses.

Quite an eye opener.  I plan on purchasing either a Sigma or Tamron 100-400, or even a 70-300, it’s a focal length I don’t often. At the price point of this Sigma/Tamron, I can live with the short ...

Thanks everyone.  I’m just going to download on my phone and forget about a printed manual.

Thanks for replying that’s what I’m just going to continue do.  Sometimes I like having a printed reference especially if I’m somewhere with sketchy cell or wifi service.  It doesn’t come up a lot ...

Yes.  I ordered the tap in console with the lens.  It did need the firmware update.

Thank you for the info.  Good idea.  👍🏻

Has anyone ordered a camera manual from here?

Thank you.  The link doesn’t work, I’ll see if I can find it on Nikon.

Thanks everyone for the input.  My shooting is mainly landscapes, perched birds, squirrels, deer, street/urban and travel.  I’ll try AF-C with Focus and see how many keeps.

Thank you.  I found a used one and it just came a couple days ago, along with a  tap in console.  Glass is perfect, only thing I needed to do was clean the threads of the hood, there was a little ...

For AF-C  Priority are you using Release and AF-S Focus?  I’ve read this was the best setting. I’ve been using Release for both.   Thank you in advance.

I thought I read somewhere that’s it’s better to use AF-C all the time, because if there’s not movement is will just act like AF-S?   I have a Z6ii and have never used any of the tracking ...

No it doesn’t.  This weekend I’ll see if I can get it to recognize the CF card and import it. Maybe I can add it as a Login Item.     I always shut my Mac down  I use my iPad more then my Mac.

Thank you What does using an ND filter do?  Just reduce highlights and smooth out the fireworks ?

Thanks for the help.  I figured it out.  I went to system/Users & Groups/Login Items and added Photos to that. So now when my Mac starts up Photos automatically opens.
