Whois

That crossed my mind as well but maybe we shouldn't read too much into it

Nikon AF-S Micro Nikkor 105mm is OK but there are quite a few better lenses. The Z MC 105mm is at an entirely new level. Wow! is a good description.

as well as the Tamron 150-600mm which covers my rare long telephoto needs

Absolutely. I was never really happy with the 18-200 even with my 10 MP D200. The Z 24-200 is really quite OK with my 45 MP Z7.

It's actually a lot better than most super zooms. But of course it won't be as good as a prime

I have both lenses. I find the 24-70 marginally better. Better contrast and very very slightly sharper. But t's not a big difference.

Just clean your sensor - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-7ciRxh6s8

Small bump! So no one has compared the two lenses? I know that the Nikon has some big advantages against the Tamron (very close focus, lighter in weight and i would assume faster AF) but I'd be ...

Has someone who has the two lenses (and the TC) done a comparison of the image quality between the two? Especially interested about the comparison at 560mm.

If you are not planning on using Z lenses I don't think that you stand to gain very much by moving to a Z50. Maybe you should invest time on getting better at dealing with noise reduction in ...

I don't normally use filters for protection (unless i am close to sea spray) but I got one for the 105mm because i am doing a lot of close-up in the field and it's very easy to bump or touch the ...

Now that I've read your review I am ready to buy the Z9!

Yes, it is stunning.

What are they for?

It's not only about noise. Lower ISOs give you more dynamic range.

The Z7 with current firmware is actually pretty good. Have you read this book https://bcgwebstore.com/product/secrets-to-the-nikon-autofocus-system-mirrorless-edition/ ?

@Horshack Maybe not zero but very little I believe (for your three examples)

Yes, it's a beautiful fashion accessory

If that's all you want to do with it and you already have an FTZ adapter have you considered getting an old 60mm macro second-hand?

Can you elaborate? I have the 70-300 AF-P lens and am considering replacing it with the 100-400. But is the quality really so much better between 100 and 300mm? Obviously the 100-400 will give me ...
