Indeed the Tamron 35-150mm MTF data looks quite impressive for this type of zoom lens: https://www.tamron-usa.com/product/lenses/a043.html It’s zoom range (4.29x) is close to the coming Nikon Z ...

Maybe they’ll extract better overall sharpness and optical quality from a 24-105 rather than a 5x 24-120 design?

iPads generally come with decent color accuracy out of the box but default white point is a little cool at around 6900K. System level color management is not possible with iPad with exception of ...

So, thread started with “how to justify to get one”? Ans: you just want one, so get it!

I am tempted, but probably only because of the current hype and anticipation of what has yet to be revealed. I don’t really want a heavier camera than my current Z7, but the the current hype makes ...

I can’t disagree. I have no issues with AF with my Z7 for my use cases and it is in fact more consistent than it was on my D850.

Case in point here was the backlash after the Z6/Z7 marketing campaign and launch, “not the professional level camera they promised us” and “the terrible AF performance “. Even lead to a big chunk ...

Thanks for the sales tax law clarifications Henry. I concur with the many positive comments about B&H posted in this thread and B&H is my primary go-to online retailer for gear. Sometimes though it ...

Details sent.

I have the entire trinity of f/2.8S zooms now and as much as I love the IQ and look from my Z 50mm f/1.8S it is never really used these days. I would "dearly like" to use it more, but in practice ...

The extra free gear is a good point that I forgot to mention with Adorama. When I ordered my Z 70-200mm f/2.8S it came as a lens + filter kit, so got a Hoya CPL plus UV filter in the price worth ...

I’m getting a strong sense of deja vu from that post Thierry 😊. Think we’ve gone down this route before, no? 😊 You know, “the money to pay for the sales tax reimbursement has to come from ...

I see. Good to know thanks.

Good to know. Still we have the tax rate discrepancy between B&H = 5% and Adorama = 7.8%, at-least that is situation in my case.

Yeah, and this is the point I’m trying to make a few posts above. For some reason B&H calculate my sales tax rate as 5% which is wrong whereas Adorama calculate it correctly at closer to 8%. B&H ...

In my case B&H calculate my sales tax as 5% and the Payboo card covers 100% of that yes. My point is why do they calculate my sales tax as 5% when it should be closer to 8% for my zip code? I ...

Both Adorama and B&H apply sales tax these days. If you have the B&H Payboo card you can use that to cover the sales tax up to 5%. If you use the Adorama Edge card you will directly pay the sales ...

Short answer is yes they are. I have mainly purchased gear from B&H, but earlier this year bought the Z 70-200mm f/2.8S from Adorama as it was out of stock at B&H. Experience was identical to B&H ...

Not sure. Why wouldn’t a flat wall at close focal range show evidence of field curvature if it exists? Yes, at close range different parts of a wall will have a different distances to the focal ...

Moreover, I got a couple of good quality NiSi 112mm filters, a neutral CPL and a 6-stop ND filter for $199 each, which is nowhere close to the $899 figure they quoted for Nikon filters. Now, ...
