It is but the genuine Arca one seems a whole heap better. The inverted ball means no need for a leveling base and the huge ball will be more secure. The genuine has the fast lever clamp and is ...

Can't expect Nikon to maintain compatibility so keep sending Tamron messages about your disappointment. When you get tired of that then the 2 macro lenses from Nikon may be available. :-D

I have the LS324C and i think much the same as you. Wish i had known about the Arca ballhead. Seems like a much better solution, i put a leveling base on mine for use with a panorama head but the ...

To me the biggest problem is the girl is too close to the background so both are of nearly the same sharpness. Move her forward and the background would soften enough to make it more 3 dimensional

I hope you never say that on the medium format forum, you would have to take responsibility for so many cardiac arrests it would be sad. :-O

The English will keep on saying Zed and the yanks will keep using pronunciation in line with their funny dialect and nothing will ever change so who cares.

According to the tests i have read the Z 24-70 f4 seems to be better than the latest F 24-70 f2.8 which for a cheapish lens is amazing.  The Z 2.8 is better again but bigger and 300 G heavier

In relation to flange distance the Nikon is easy to adapt to for the 3rd party manufacturers. The Nikon being the shortest just needs a slight extension. The difficulty will be reverse engineering ...

NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f4  ??????? might be waiting a while for that

the lens serial number is over 2000. seems a lot for just released considering the nature of the lens

there is a motor in the FTZ to drive the aperture. you can see the lever on the left side of the mount

put the aperture ring on the lens to the minimum position, leave it there, then control aperture with the command dial on the body

I have had the best experience of anybody. Have never needed it :-) Can't get any better than that Please excuse the strange sense of humour.

have u looked at any of your old tapes lately. I had a big collection and had a look at some about 6 or 7 years ago. They were junk so all went in the bin. The mag tape demagnetizes slowly and you ...

i used to work on broadcast gear before the 1/2" systems came out. So i have seen all of them until the demise of the tapes. The early systems used 1" open reels much like the early audio reels. ...

Sorry but that is a load of rubbish. One of those inet folk-laws that people believe the marketing hype and won't let go of. Ask the guys that did the repairs on them. The smaller cassette meant ...

Is it visible on files uploaded to a PC?  could be just the LCD screen on the camera

I had the same dilemma, heavy camera for trekking up mountains to photograph waterfalls and temples in Asia. I wanted to stay FF but reduce weight and volume for aircraft carryon, I travel light ...

https://www.nikonrumors.co/what-to-expect-next-from-nikon-september-2019/ Just a ripoff site i think

Yes and along with a few others like Jim and Maryanne we are lucky in this forum. Its just a pity some idiots hound the knowledgeable people untill they stop contributing. I very much miss ...
