I am opposed to hybrid cameras, but not to the extent that I think we need a whole new class of “photo-only” cameras. If there are video features that don’t dilute the stills portion of the camera,...

Pretty cool. I've always wondered why we have 24- and 28- mm zooms that go up to hundreds of mm on the long, but it has taken us so long to drop the 4mm on the short end...

As a happy owner of the 28mm 2.8Z, I’m curious how this will compare. I suppose we haver very little to go off off and its a bit too early to tell, but I’d imagine there must be some sort of catch…

Agreed. This lineup makes a lot of sense to me. It makes the choice very easy: Either we go for the relatively light, optically excellent and cheap 1.8, or we go for the take-out-all-stops huge and...

As a 28mm fan myself, its easy to feel a bit left out. Nikon does have the 28mm 1.8 and the more recent 1.4, so hoping that there is a future for a fast 28mm for Z mount. Currently I’m pretty happy...

“It will of course be better than the old 135mm f2 in every measurable area. But I wonder if it will be better in the non measurable aspects.”

I wonder the same thing about a lot of these new...

5 generations in and still that body shape... Even in the pictures it looks like the photographer is having a terrible time trying to hold that thing.

Pretty cool. I love the idea of a manufacturer bring back an old camera that everyone loves. Let's start bring back some Hasselblad V and Contax 645 cameras now that we’re at it!

I often talk with my father about this. He was once a DSLR user, then a digital point & shoot user, and now an exclusive iPhone user. He is happy with the pictures and how easy it is to take and...

“it remains a highly sought-after lens due to its aspherical design, which was phased out in newer iterations, and its utility for cinema and video”

And the pool of solely photographic lenses gets...

I wondered about this.. I would love to see some of these side by sides. There are factors that can contribute to the images a lens makes besides the design of the elements. For example the T*...

It’s not a cog in a machine you never see, it’s something you touch and feel and interact with to make your images out of. If you like the way it looks and that inspires you to use it just a little...

Hi everyone, just wanted to update that I did indeed get the Z7. Simply put: Its great. Feels like a Nikon. Has features you can’t even dream of with an SLR, features that I really find myself ...

I’m going to be the first to admit the unpopular truth:

I do not desire a Tamron lens because of how it looks and probably because it’s not a Nikon lens. I’m sure if I put the equivalent Tamron on...

Has anyone ever used Loxia lenses on a Nikon Z7? I am considering some for use as a high quality manual lens and also because I rather like the Zeiss rendering. Despite the fact that they use a ...

I can't seem to settle on a midrange zoom for my D750. I'm a bit of a freak for the rendering of my lenses straight out of camera. I use a 24-85 VR right now, as I have for many years on many ...

I have large hands and an X-E3/18-55 combo and suffered with the grip. I arrived at a solution I wasn’t anticipating: the BLC-XE3 half case. It adds just a touch of extra height and a slight bump ...

Thanks for your time everyone! I was not expecting so much answers. Just a few points to clarify that may be helpful: • AF is not super important to me. I don’t shoot anything to AF intensive and ...

I rather like my D750 but due to changing needs, I wonder if it may be time to switch to mirrorless. Namely a Z7. Not necessarily for the extra pixels at full frame, but for ISO 64 and to the ...

I’m not an M shooter, but these look great. In the age of super-duper 50mm primes that look closer to 2.8 zooms in stature, slow primes are a breath of fresh air. With the right expectations, I’m...
