I've been to both Georgias, so I am well aware of the Caucasus Mountains and Mount Elbrus. There are some Western Europeans who do not even consider this a part of Europe, but that's an altogether ...

That's nearly perfect. The answer to the first question is actually "all of them", and the letter the most country names start with is 'S'. Everything else is right on - excellent. (1) I can name the ...

Thanks for sharing. A bit U.S. centric for those of us not from the U.S., but interesting nonetheless. I'll toss in a few more for fun: (1) Which continents have places that are below sea level?

This is how they look when it's all said and done.  ;-)

Interesting perspective, Erick.  Here is mine: US States Visited: 45 North America: 9 countries South America: 7 countries Africa: 2 countries Europe: 26 countries Middle East: 2 countries Asia: 11 ...

Maybe I should have added that I used no masking whatsoever in the Topaz attempt.  Which makes it even more impressive.

I agree with Bill that the PS version looks unnatural. The feathers on top of the head are overly sharp and b&w - they look almost like they were painted on. The wing feathers show some of the ...

Gave the trial a run. Worked well on-screen, but images were all-black upon saving, regardless of file format. Upon consulting with Topaz' customer service, the root cause was most likely that my ...

Except for the fact that I use a SunSniper rather than an OpTech strap, I could not agree more.  ;-)

Not me.

Not exactly DYI, but this one is so cheap (and good - used it many times) that I wouldn't bother DYI'ing one.  Some people may suggest using a simple rule, but you need a vertical target to focus ...

Agree wholeheartedly. Weight is the only reason for me no longer owning the otherwise-excellent 200-500.

Sorry for raining on your parade, but EACH leans test consisted of 50 shots each at 1/20s, 1/40s, ... , 1/1250s.  That's 350 shots per.  :-)

Probably at some point, but I don't expect this to happen soon. For one, Z sales are not (yet) at the level to lure third party makers into releasing new products. More important, I think, is the ...

In my opinion, the answer to your question mostly depends on your susceptibility to GAS. It used to be that photographers had the same camera, or maybe a few of them, carrying them through life. ...

The CottonCarrier harness can even be equipped for three bodies.

Interesting thought.  I never shoot with a grip and don't own one, so I cannot test this, but you're probably right that the added mass would at least reduce the effect. Thanks for sharing the ...

Thank you for the kind comment. Not sure 'messed up' does them justice here. Going by comments from owners of other Nikon bodies who do not seem to have the issue, this does not appear to show up, ...

Not necessarily. My personal limit is where I get 50% keepers. That's because whenever I can, I take at least two shots and pixel-peep later. This is obviously difficult to do with moving birds ...

Just cross-linking a Nikon Lens forum thread thinking some Z owners may find it interesting: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4477656#forum-post-63787674
