Willoughby Peerless was a top-notch camera store back in the 1970s, when I bought my first Olympus OM-1 there. At some point, and I don't remember when, it became a place that I avoid, on par with ...

Exactly

At this point, I won't be responding anymore and it makes me less inclined to even hit this forum. Get a DSLR or sell your D lenses.

Absolutely. I got rid of most of my D lenses, anyway, because they were getting old. The great 35 - 70 was having balsam separation issues with the lens elements. The only one I still on is the ...

Nor should it happen. It’s a niche. I still have a couple of the lenses, but I don’t expect to be able to use them on the Z cameras. To expect backwards compatibility forever, especially from a ...

This is not news and I am not bothered by it.

1. What do you shoot? This is important. 2. While the 70-200 f4 is a nice lens - I owned one for a year - it's quite long and, mounted on the FTZ, I think it would be kind of unwieldy to carry, ...

Are you sure he’s not talking about the old screw mount lenses and not the screw driven auto focus?

Are you sure he’s not talking about the old screw mount lenses, not the screw driven AF?

What type of stuff do you normally shoot and what are you testing for that you can't discover elsewhere? All the lenses you mentioned are really excellent, for the most part.

You have never used these lenses and you are basing this whole thread on a chart?

Agree completely. I love my iPhone. I love my Z7. I love my Nikon DSLRs. The false equivalence articles get really tedious and are such a waste of time that I generally just don't click. They ...

What speed film?

So you’re saying it’s not the F 100, even though the title of the post seems to imply that? What shutter speed were these taken at? The rest of the roll?

Nikon will be fine. When I was a kid, "Made In Japan" had bad connotations - people thought it was flimsy. Only as the years passed and one great product after another came along did that opinion ...

It remains my favorite lens of all time. It has the one fatal flaw in the “silent wave motor“ and if it means a lot to you, get it replaced now will they still have parts. I have always loved ...

Enjoy whatever you’re shooting with.

Also, the first Canon camera - the Hansa Canon rangefinder, from 1936, used a Nikon focusing mount and a Nikon lens. They were branded "Nippon Kogaku."

Unlike many on DPReview, I am not a fan of the 28-300 and sold my copy after a year. I do love the new Z 24-200, though, and it's maybe the best all-in-one lens I have ever owned. It's nice to have ...

Picked mine up today. It’s not even available as a drop down menu option in the Nikon registration system yet. So far, I love it, but I have not shot much with it.
