I agree io. Once it’s gone it’s tainted. I totally get it. And for the same reasons I don’t lend out my gear. I tell friends “it’s my policy and that we will remain friends if I say no. But if...

I have one still if you want to buy it. ;-)

I've bought and sold many digital cameras, often as a spring board on to the next best thing that helps me in either image quality or work flow or accuracy etc. But the one film camera i regret...

I sold my D700 in 2011 (cant believe its been that long) and used the proceeds to get a D3s right before the tsunami hit. Still have a soft spot for the D700. As someone who was doing wedding...

Never heard of InstaOne R, but I'm sure they thank you for the plug. :-)

Optics are amazing, function is near Z native. It's very quick to AF, maybe the fastest Nikon lens period, under 200mm. But, like all adapted F to Z lenses the AF has a certain nervousness to it. ...

Sort of. 24 FPS is North American. 25 is European etc. Those are the outputs that you view them as. But to record at those rates it requires a doubling of the shutter speed. More video specific ...

Like anything it all all depends of the light. High ISO on it is very good, and you only "need" to be shooting at 1/50 for video. It's bright enough on the wide end but you need twice as much ...

The 35 and 50 are only 15mm off.   The 50 and 85 are 35mm off. Each have their different look. But, I have always thought of 35mm as being "a wide 50". Similar look, just wider. 85mm is totally ...

Ming uses a Z7 which yields a 20mp crop image like the Z50. The Z50 is about $1000, the Z7 is over $3000. The Z6 only yields a 10mp cropped image.

Sony a7 series has been out for how long now, 7 years? And 3rd party lens makers have only ramped lens offerings in the last 18 months. So it takes time. A combination of engineering and market...

But at least you don’t need to worry about a phone call interrupting your lip stick review. You’re right. The smart phone is an alternative. But the problem is the “main camera” is on the back. So...

How lazy we have become that we feel we can’t rotate our smartphones 90 degrees to the left or right and become perplexed and mildly annoyed when we have to. Oi vey.

So far the comments are all negative. Here's the problem... you're thinking like a photographer. I'm not a fan of Sony by any means, but their marketing is brilliant. Take an existing camera and...

My 13 y.o. son has mine. The only thing you're missing is nostalgia. :-)

My dad handed down to me an old Miranda EE with 28, 50 135mm lenses. I should put a roll through that thing again.

I started photography, in earnest, in the digital age too. But still bought, played with and sold a bunch of film cameras. But the one I miss the most was my Mamiya6. So simple, such sharp lenses,...

Either am I  but for weddings and some corporate events, there are elements of either that lend more towards that genre during parts of the day. +1 and many 3rd party lenses can get a feeling of ...

But have you used it? Or used it beyond a trade show or show room floor? I didn’t want to like it. I had the Tamron 24-70 2.8 VC (G1) before it. And thought it was ok. Better as a 3.2 lens than a ...

I have found over the years that when Nikon brings a new version of whatever, it always fails to light up the spec comparison sheets. But as a sum of all parts it's quite often a much better ...
