The advantage of the 120-300 is it's flexibility being an f2.8 zoom. If you're using it primarily at 300mm and f2.8, any Nikon 300 2.8 prime will be better in every way. Sharper with less ...

Ahhhhhh, birds and wildlife.....an important detail which should have been mentioned in your first post. Since owning two or three super telephoto primes is obviously way out of your budget, you'll ...

I'm having a really hard time trying to understand how you came to this conclusion. Seriously. This has not been my experience at all between my once owned D3 (identical sensor to the D700), my ...

£220 with a 2 year warranty, that's a deal.

If you find a D700 in good working order you'll be fine. The only thing limiting your images will be you. Not the camera. You'll be much better off with a D700 and a great lens or two as opposed ...

🤣

Yes, please keep us posted.

VERY tempted to pick up a used A9 just so I can buy this lens.

On a web forum completely over run with current product marketing BS, it's nice to see that there are at least a few 12 megapixel DSLR guys who haven't been bullied off the site by the shills yet. ...

I just couldn't get images I was happy with but it had a lot to do with what I was used to. I'm basically a two lens shooter; fast normal prime and a fast tele zoom. Back then, my go-to combo was ...

I never liked it when I had one but the 28-105 is so cheap on ebay that it's worth buying just to try it out.

AF speed is very fast with most screw drive lenses, usually faster than nearly all matching focal length AFS lenses with very few exceptions. Because the focus motors are what send lenses to an ...

Not all of the old lenses have distortion. This is an issue that is lens specific. The 85mm 1.4D has nearly no distortion. Same with the 50mm 1.8D. And for the lenses that do have distortion, most ...

Much slower focus????? You're kidding, right? Most screw drive lenses focus MUCH faster than their matching focal length AFS lenses. I tolerated the lesser image quality of the 50 1.4D because of ...

Go with an f2.8 70-200. It will most likely become your most used/favorite lens. Having a full stop more light and the better bokeh is totally worth dealing with the extra weight. Remember, an ...

Not a huge difference but the Sigma Art 14-24 is actually slightly better than the Nikon version in just about every way. Sharper, less distortion, better build quality, etc, and yes, for less ...

Not a problem. I would highly recommend getting the dock.

If you have ever used f1.4 lenses, then you have dealt with focus shift. Worst case scenario, it's a minor problem that you'll most likely never notice unless shooting focus charts. I'll only ...

Sounds like you have the camera in crop mode. 16x20 prints should look very good if the images aren't cropped. 11x14 should look exceptional. Which lens are you using? Could you post one of the ...

The Z7ii auto focus is good but not as good as the best DSLR's. It's not even on par with my ancient D3S. Sometimes the truth hurts. And then sometimes companies try to bury that truth... You ...
