look at the photo I posted on this thread and let me know what you think- it's taken with the G & FTZ

You are correct. The 85mm is a very good (and comfortable for the subject) distance for portrait work.

Thank you! :) I have to think with the results I've had with my 85mm f/1.8G w/FTZ, it can't get much better, plus I don't do a lot of portraits in the first place. I'm totally happy with my F ...

this photo was taken with the Nikon 85mm f/1.8G w/FTZ :)

Beautiful in every way- what do you think of my daughter's senior picture I took? While I did use some air-brush to remove blemishes, I did not do any sharpening....

I have a SmallRig L bracket for my Z6, and a Lim's Design half case for my Z7. They both have advantages and disadvantages. The SmallRig 2258 L bracket is reasonably priced, and you can add a nice ...

it downloads just fine on my Mac

I have it on very good authority, that the new battery WILL be compatible with the Z6 and Z7. YAY! It seems all I do is charge batteries anymore ;)

I can respect that :) Your application/business benefits from that, and as you say, needs it to stand out. I guess I'm thinking more for the "common person" out there, it just isn't needed- I...

I don't understand why anyone would want to use their ML or DSLR camera for streaming or webcam use. Doesn't that full on heat up the sensor and camera? That can't be good for it when most laptops...

Does anyone know if the new EN-EL15c battery will be compatible with the Z6 and Z7?

I can't argue with that logic :)

This is an excellent example of why I didn't switch to Sony for a ML camera and waited for Nikon to come out with a ML body. This lens sells for $1,273.00 and a comparable Nikon AF-P 70-300mm...

straight out of the camera with the Nikon AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR Lens & FTZ, @ 300mm f/5.6 (VR on, handheld in a bouncing boat:

I agree, sucker money, that was me buying my first telephoto lens. Cheap telephoto lenses hunt, they are slow to focus, and by the time you "get the shot", it's too late, you've lost what you ...

Beautiful!

when shooting FF, it looks like this: there is a VERY narrow focus setting that only had slight vignetting, but it is impractical to try framing your photos that way.....

yes, but at least I have the choice to use or not use the 1.4X teleconverter, and on the Z7 it is F8 :)

I'm more than happy with my 200-500mm f/5.6 VR and using my TC14III for a resulting f/8 when I want/need the extra reach. I use them on both my Z7 and D500. I just can't imagine F11 being usable ...

Which Z camera do you have? If you have a Z7 or a Z50, I'd look at the 7artisans Photoelectric 60mm f/2.8 Macro Lens for Nikon Z mount. It's only $159.00 - it is a DX lens, so you can shoot in DX ...
