Hi Joel - I haven't tried the others. . . but love the results from DXo, so no need to even try anything different.

Getting a bit of arthritis in my wrists. . . taking shots like this, I'm often holding the lens for an hour or two non-stop, and it hurts.

But the IBIS has made a difference.

Not tempted at all - too big and heavy for me.  I may be tempted by the 400PF, which I hope will be an f4.0 and around 1,000 grams.  If it is, I might replace the 500mm PF with this 400mm and a ...

Two images of a Toutouwai (New Zealand North Island Robin), first one taken in 2019 with a D750.  I won a couple of minor awards with this image, helped by the little orange worm in it's beak.  ...

If by wildlife you mean small birds, or if you think you'll need to crop a fair bit, go for 45mp. . . otherwise 24mp is fine for most subjects.

I have one of each. . . and while the 7II is great for wildlife where I often need to crop, the 6II is perfectly fine for everything else.  I say 'perfectly fine'. . . but, when used with the new ...

Not many reviews of this lens posted, so will add one.  There is not much to say about it except that it's small, light, sharp and has minimal CA.  I used it for a paid shoot and the results were ...

I have the 500mm PF. . . but would prefer a little more reach and something a bit lighter.  I may trade it for the 400mm f4 PF and a 1.4x TC, giving me a (nearly) 600mm f5.6.  I am hoping the ...

I use a small rig L plate (black) on my Z7II - it has an attachment which gives extra rigidity to the FTZ adaptor, reducing the strain of a long lens (500mm PF).  I then bought a bright orange ...

I bought this as a lightweight walkabout lens.  My wife and I spent last weekend up around the Hokianga Harbour in New Zealand's far north, so just a few casual snapshots taken on my Z6II.  The ...

Removing the shutter takes out a fair bit of cost, which is why the Z 9 is cheaper that the R3 / A1.  There is a ton of stuff that could be removed from the Z 9 to make it a ~$2,400 camera - pro ...

Personally, I’m thinking that the Z 6 III will have the Z9 sensor, processor and, therefore, AF performance - but obviously lower capabilities in other areas and cost circa US$ 2,400. I then think ...

I bought my Z 6 II and Z 7 II knowing that the focus wasn’t quite there, but confident that firmware updates were probably in the pipeline, based on Nikon’s record with the original models.  That ...

Trying out my Z 6 II bought a couple of weeks ago, in the Kiwi House at Auckland Zoo.  Taken with the 85mm S lens at f1.8 and 1/40 second. . . so dark I could only see a shadow of the bird running ...
