It's yen, based on a table that reports net sales from Nikon's 2021 report. Looks like Thom converted the table into a graph as I can't find a graph in the report.

Yes, the bump makes hand holding smaller lenses uncomfortable. Hopefully it's more than that though, as Canon has shown what can be done with all that air.

At that point the shutter sound is off, so the photog has taken his finger off the shutter button, and AF has stopped ;-)

The problem I have either card is the lack of warranty extension. I'll take that over tax savings for peace of mind (and yes, I have filed extended warranty claims on camera equipment). To the OP: ...

Oof, what lens did they use to shoot the product video? There's all sorts of CA on the shiny Canon logo.

And this is where camera manufacturers need to work on their software. We have auto ISO and EFCS where we can select a range to apply these features, so why not do that to VR? It's just ...

That's exactly the goal of his site, to get the most out of your kit. Same with his books. He provides information that you can use to optimize your images. You don't have to follow it, but his ...

Rolling shutter has long been an issue with focal plane shutters: https://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?31903-Jacques-Henri-Lartigue-and-his-camera

That has always been Nikon's advice, VR or not.

Sorry, I have to correct what I said. I tried it again, and I do hear VR locking when the camera is turned off. it's a little more muted than when switching VR off.

You could try switching VR off if your lens has a switch before removing it. When I do that with my 70-200mm FL, I can hear the VR mechanism moving to what I'm guessing is the locked position. I ...

Interesting, I've never tried doing a focus rack test with the Z7. It sounds like the Z slows down the speed when it can't find focus as a way to attempt to focus (versus a DSLR that just zips ...

Define heavy? I have used dumb adapters with lenses up to 2bs with no issues. And most long teles have their own tripod mount. Whether the aperture mechanism can be shrunk is another issue. But I ...

Thanks! The firmware was easy to update. Sadly the lens won't focus, looks like I have to send it back.

May I know what firmware version you have on your Techart? I bought one when it went on sale at B&H, and I have a Rokinon 35mm f/2.8 arriving today as my first E-mount lens (bought it because of ...

Bit of a difference between the two, since one is APS-C with a metal body, and the other is FX with plastic. The Nikon actually is a bargain of a Z lens, based on the sample images. If 28mm was a ...

100% agree. As much as I've enjoyed my Nikon cameras and lenses over almost 40 years of ownership, I'd be a fool to say they're perfect. Nikon can and SHOULD do better, not just for their bottom ...

"Ghost Duck" is a Nikon trademark for this new Z series feature (take that, Sony and Canon). Seriously, my vote goes to VR, since I see it on the boat also (as others have pointed out)

If it can take Z mount lenses, then I don't mind (viewfinder agnostic). Not going to happen though ;-)

Picked one up from B&H when it went on sale for $169. Now I need to find a Sony mount lens.

I'm curious as to what firmware was installed for the test, and if it's an old build, why wasn't it...
