For starters it is a 1/3 loss of resolution to move from the D800 (36MP) to the Z6 (24). If you have relied on the D800’s resolution then the Z7 is the better move. The Z is smaller and lighter ...

They use an open-source lens correction tool. I requested the 14-30 be added months ago but never received any response. It bothers me too that they don’t stay up on this.

I have a Z7, and before that a D7100. I have been using Affinity Photo for a few years. It opens .NEF files but doesn’t know anything about Nikon’s color science they apply to their files to ...

Assuming there are no free versions of Windows or that a Windows license doesn’t come with MacOS, and that a virtual machine isn’t included with MacOS, that sounds like a lot of work to trial a...

No, no play. I have the Z7, FTZ, TC14iii, and Nikkor 200-500. It’s rock-solid.

I bought the FTZ but my situation is different: I am a long-time Nikon user and already had the 200-500. No one can say when Nikon will release any product, so if you need a specific lens and the Z ...

Glad you got your new camera and you got what they estimated. However, I think you are confusing a couple of things. You said you found it unacceptable that they would bill you MSRP for the new ...

CPLs are used any time you want to reduce reflections on surfaces. You don’t have to use them outdoors. You are still zeroing in on specific use cases, ignoring that there are lots of ways to use ...

Why the “be prepared for several hundred images” talk? 120*3=360. You hold down the shutter for three seconds in this “mode,” you will shoot that many frames. Thanks, though. I can see how this ...

Both are really good cameras. Reduce your choice to just one question: do you want to be able to crop heavily, or print large? If 'yes' then the only choice is the Z7. Stop dithering and pull the ...

This is a false equivalence. The Q2M can only shoot monochrome. You cannot make an either/or decision between that camera and any camera that shoots both color and monochrome. The Q2M is also a ...

BrianTilley below makes excellent points about CPLs. Based on your responses so far, and what I read in this one, I wonder if you really understand the reason for and use of filters. Just here: ...

What’s your subject? One adult: 105mm f/2.5 is perfect. Nice drawing, nose isn’t huge, nice bokeh with good background separation wide open, and you’re not right on top of the subject. No one likes ...

Lots and lots of discussions here worthy of a search for D750 mentions. However I’m going pedantic. The word you want is “successor,” not “predecessor.” ”Predecessor” means “what came before,” in ...

You may want to reread his sentence again after first installing your humor and contrasting phrases discrimination filters. Be sure to install the humor filter as primary.

Probably the best summary of this argument I’ve ever seen! Your other reply points are valid, but this is priceless.

No addition to the optical path has “zero impact on IQ.” You are introducing additional opportunities for flare, you have two additional surfaces to attract dust, no filter is absolutely planar to ...

consensus seems to be a lens shade is better to protect the lens, with the real added benefit of reduced contrast loss and flares if you shoot while a light source is in front of the plane of the ...

The answer is in the article, and in the release embedded in the article.

Any issues attaching or removing the FTZ with the grip attached?
