I love this lens and I wouldn't shoot wildlife without it and my TC14III - yes it's heavy so I either use a monopod or a tripod on a gimbal with a dot sight

does anyone know if this will be compatible with the original Z6 & Z7?

If you want to shoot hand held, extension tubes are probably going to make for a very frustrating experience, as will most macro lenses. You'll need to use a tripod. As others have said, the NIKKOR ...

Great advice! Because I have a Z7 I purchased a 7Artisans f/2.8 60mm macro lens which gives me 24MP. Ii is a fantastic little lens, but would only give about a 10MP rez since it is a crop sensor lens.

I wouldn't call the Z9 a sales flop. If anything, it is causing more people to go ahead and buy it, along with the Z lenses and Z6/7MkII

Personally, I'd go with option #3 except try your existing telephoto lens first on a D500 to see if that is good enough for you. There are a couple (if not more) videos on YouTube for exact ...

Thank you for your information and for sharing your experience. As you say, everyone's needs are different. I will most likely never be able to even hold a cinema camera or high end dedicated video...

I have 3 different rigs that are scalable. I am using the Atom X, along with the Atomos UltraSync BLUE. I hope you can see from the photos that I have the Z6 on a SmallRig mini cage with a ...

I won't buy another 3rd party lens (unless it is a cinema lens)...

I also use a Ninja V w/Sync, MKE600, Shure VP88 and a Zoom F6w/BT to record in 32 bit float. It syncs just fine, and sounds incredible :)

LOL about the forum rules- regarding the clean LCD, you may want to attach an external display such as a Ninja V if you can afford it, if not there are "display only" options around the $150.00 ...

Let me say first that I am an enthusiast/semi-pro photographer that wanted to get into video. I already had purchased a Z7 for a walk around camera hoping to "do it all" but I will say the video ...

I bought a Z6 (original) specifically to shoot video, and it has served me well. I use an Atomos Ninja V to record in 10 bit and I couldn't be any happier. BTW, Nikon just released new firmware ...

I'm saving my money for one of these. What an awesome camera!

oops, I meant 14-30, and I just thought it would be interesting to compare how sharp both lens would be at f/4 :)

I'm wondering why you didn't offer a comparison in your chart of the Z 14-24 F/4?

thank you so much, updating now!
