@ mailing... Nikon has always given precision priority to their fast primes, and speed priority to their 2.8 zooms. An 85 1.2 is not a lens one would typically be racking focus from near to far and...

As a shareholder, all there is concern for is profitability. As a hobbyist, the concern is for options. Yes, there is only 2mm difference in FL, but the dynamic changes because of the small size.

The 26 is half the size of the 28. Thats the appeal. And on APS-C it's roughly 40mm. And, its another option/lens choice in the Z system.

That's how I took it. There is a large and upcoming segment of younger people who have ever ONLY used a cell phone to take pictures and video. And brand switchers probably won't amount to a huge ...

Not really. It's not fuel. It's an optional buy.

Definitely my fave.

Another a7rV "final" review? Days of slow news I guess.

Gotcha. :-)

They’ve already announced a 15% price increase coming soon.

Oh I know. I'm quite versed in Nikon's IR CLS. That was their proprietary system and involved preflashes from the pop up flash and/or SU-800. Not a 3rd party in-body radio trigger system. I was ...

I would take better preamps than 32 bit audio. Using camera mics is not a great solution outside of scratch audio. They are omni directional and will pick up the sound of you breathing in a quiet ...

False colour would be great. Even proper shutter angles. I didn't even know Pocket Wizard was still around or at least relevant. They were industry leaders in RF remote triggers. Profoto had PW ...

I have the 50 1.2 and Z 85 1.8. Used to have the 105 and 58 1.4. I swore the 105 would be the last lens I ever parted with, and it sort of was.... It was my last F mount AF lens. I don't miss the ...

@photography-lover...... think how far Nikon Z has come.... price can't be criticized, optical quality can't be criticized. So, like a child grasping at insult straws, how it looks is the last...

How do you de-ice?

DX, FX, medium format or micro 4/3.... focal length is focal length. What changes between those formats is the size of the image circle and sensor that the image projects onto. If you take a ...

@djehuty, what was Sony's first mirrorless camera according to you?

@photography-lover.... it was going well until someone gave milcman a sliver of an opening and the link machine has been awakened.

There was 10 years between the D300 and D500 launch. So you've got a few years to go for a Z700. /s

Nothing powered about the lens except autofocus. It's a manually operated zoom. But it has a "park position" that collapses near flat when not in use. That too is a manually activated feature.

Viltrox has a nice lineup to tide DX users over 13mm 1.4, 23mm 1.4, 56mm 1.4 to name a few. And Nikon has the 28 2.8 and 40 f/2 muffin lenses.
