Good to know I am not the only one doing it this way. I would feel more comfortable packing the gears that way as well. I just tried to avoid exposing the sensor in the field, so I have the lens ...

Thanks for the FAQ and these posts. I would need some time to read them through. I think I need a larger backpack w/ better protection.

I am using a PeakDesign backpack zip 15 L to carry cameras with lenses mounted. I have to put the lenses in vertical orientation due to the small size of the backpack. I used to have the camera ...

Very nice! Where can we see the bald eagle in San Diego? Thanks

I think I will end up with a setup similar to your #2 or #3, in the future. 24-70/2.8 + 70-200/2.8 or 100-400S, w/ TC14 and an optional lens for WA lens: 20/1.8 or 14-30 or 14-24. Tons of money ...

I would get it if it has a better IQ than 24-200. Is there a review directly comparing the two lenses? I did some research online lately, but couldn't draw a conclusion.

Thanks for the suggestion. I may get the 24-120 when I decide to sell the 24-200. Don't want to have 24-70/24-120/24-200 all on the shelf...

I have read your comments several times. I had exactly the same mindset when I started with a Fuji 1.5 years ago, but I got lost in GAS gradually... I was unhappy with some portraits taken w/ the ...

Thanks for the detailed reply! Yes, you are right. I would like to give shallow DOF a priority, followed by high megapixel & high IQ. Shallow DOF and high IQ are what I think I have missed w/ the ...

I shoot landscapes, portraits, and distant objects when traveling. I want high image quality (and high MP if possible) for wide-angle landscape shots, shallow DOF for portraits when needed, and ...

Update: the problem is solved after the USB power delivery feature is turned off.

I am considering getting a fast and lightweight prime, like the Viltrox 23 1.4, for my zfc as well. I plan to use this lens w/ my zfc to shoot portraits and landscapes when the 100-400 is attached ...

It's 20mp, not 24mp Just out of curiosity, why do you need a ZFC when you already have a Z50?

Thanks for the information. Never thought a sling could accommodate a 100-400 w/ camera and still have room for another FF camera with a lens :-O

Thanks for the detailed comparison and the summary :) I don't record videos often, so the Z system has a win.

I feel the AF on my Z7 is good enough for all my photography needs, except BIF -- but that is something I will consider in the future. I was surprised to read that GH6 still doesn't have PDAF... Th ...

Thank you for listing these numbers. I just realized that the Z 100-400 S lens is not much heavier than FTZ+Sigma 100-400: 1355 vs. 1295. If I use Z50 instead of Z7, the combo will be 165g lighter ...

Thank you all! According to the comment from people who own both MFT and the Z cameras, I think the consensus is that the image quality of the Z cameras is way better than that of the MFT cameras. ...

I had used the 50 1.8 S and 24-200 combo w/ my Z7 for more than half a year before I got 24-70 2.8S and Sigma 100-400 recently. Since then, I have used 24-70 2.8S most of the time and 100-400 for ...

I am thinking of this as well. I have been using the 24-200 + 50 1.8S combo for many months. I purchased the 24-70 2.8S recently and I need a long FL lens to pair with it. I feel it would be silly ...
