Even funnier to see your speculative put down. The price of Leica borders on obscene, so your comment looks like snobbery: you’re not only demeaning the people’s comments on prices but also the...

In The Steve Perry preview, he says that he can’t see a major optical difference between this lens and the f4 TC.

I think if it has a downside it’ll be backlit scenes, but it seems orders of...

This is a fantastic lens, but I think I’m still ok with my 500PF. That said, in the back of my head I’m wondering about the optical goodness combined with the additional stabilisation of the...

Who are you to question the story?

There is a government enquiry in the US and Australia into these practises by Amazon which are well known and illegal and you’re doubting me? We have truly...

Yes, they forced me into maintaining subscriptions that I could not cancel.

So yes, they were just stealing from me because they kept taking money even after numerous attempts at contact and also...

The best Amazon Prime deal I’ve had is when my credit card expired and I finally found a way to cancel the account. Never, ever again will I let them hijack my money.

Yes I’ve found that I can’t keep the AF point on anything ever in VR mode now.

Thank you that's great information.

I have a 500PF that suddenly, when VR is switched on (not Sports mode), shifts the focus point as the shutter is released. It shifts it by at least the distance along one of the sides of the single ...

Yes, tried all of the usual suspects there.

Maybe. Failures generally occur at the start of service and at the rated life. This survived the D500, the D850, but soon into use on the Z8 it was dead. Coincidence, probably, but it was weird ...

It is broken, and I still suspect that I can safely point the finger at the Z8 as the reason for its demise.

Quite true. Wasn’t the 500PF that fell off, and the lens that fell off the mount did so in my bag after being used and stowed.

Yes I think it’s OK with no VR. I was aware of a few weird goings on with f lenses with the Z9 originally. the lens is now also cooked on the D850 also.

Yes, doesn’t function correctly on the D850 either. Thinking more of causation.

My Z8 is subject to the service advisory however Nikon don’t seem to have any parts to do the work as yet. I’m taking care using it because my lens did fall off, or so I believe. In the meantime, ...
