It's a nice piece of kit, I agree. I would have considered it if Ulanzi hadn't released a wider diameter ring version of their rotator, which fits my adapted lenses nicely. So at least I've got ...

My apologies, I didn't notice that you'd replied (this was around when we were thinking DPReview was going away, if I remember correctly, so I wasn't being too diligent checking the forums) I think ...

Thanks Thom, I appreciate the input. The camera is in my garden right now, pointed at a feeder, and already set to Animal :-) I don't own any Z lenses, so hopefully it's working with my FTZ II and ...

I was hoping, since the Z8 now has both bird recognition and auto capture, that I could set up auto capture specifically for birds. But bird isn't in the auto capture subject choice (just the ...

I bought these to use with my D750 when I was prepping to shoot some extended timelapse sessions, but I just tried them on my Z8 with firmware 2.0, and the camera turns on and acts normally (no ...

Another vote for Aaduki from me. Avoid Photoguard, they behaved very poorly with me with a claim (a camera on tripod was snatched from right beside me by a drive by, and the claim was denied ...

Yeah, that graphic doesn't do us any favours!

Hi Luke, I very much appreciate the time you've taken for me, thank you! You have the "Night Eagle" version of the Smallrig cage, but the non-Night-Eagle version looks to have almost the same ...

Thanks for that recommendation, I really appreciate it. Since posting my question, I've heard back from a friend at Nikon, and he confirms that the smallrig cage doesn't block the 10pin ports. ...

Hi All, For my Z8, I need to source a cage that won't block the 10-pin port on the front-left of the camera. This is so I can mount my Z8 on a motion-control time-lapse rig (the camera is triggered ...

40%, nice! I'm really glad I could help :-)

I've used this for years, it's a very versatile solution (the handle makes the reflector a lot easier to hold and manipulate): https://www.manfrotto.com/global/triflip-8-1-kit-75cm-2-stop-diffuser- ...

I really like my Filter Hive case from ThinkTank. And now I see that they have 3 sizes: https://www.thinktankphoto.com/collections/filter-cases

I'm very glad I could help :-)

Experienced product photographer here. I'd go heavy (really helps with compositing work) and this one is ideal: Manfrotto 475B , which has a very well done geared centre column (invaluable for ...

You know, I'm about to move into a small town from a large city, and I may just do this! Thanks for reminding me of the idea :-)

that would certainly be innovative (I've never heard of a t/s lens with autofocus, are there any?).

I think it'll be ultra-thin flat "lenses" like this: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41377-020-00374-9

It's a worthy question. I hope you don't mind if I approach this from a very basic starting point (as you are obviously quite experienced). It's reasonable to assume that the light will bounce ...

Kudos on a very interesting idea. May I ask if it is a composite, or a mix of continuous and flash?
