Why not get the Sigma 105mm if you are going use an adpator? The Sigma is sharper than the Nikon lens, I've owned both and only Nikon fannyboys spout about the Nikon being sharper. The Z mounts are for sale quite cheap on the used market now.

As with ALL macro lenses they are not the fastest to focus. I've never used a teleconverter with any of my macro lenses but it's something to think about if you do and this cannot accept one. I always seem to buy one and it's always there if needed. You don't just need bugs to get some use from...

Had my NPS email about the Mk2 70-200 Z mount and being honest the situations I use my Mk1 for I'll wait a good while before upgrading. For motorsport and when I'm using the Mk1 lens it's always hit the target quick and I'm then tracking the subject before firing some shots off. I do use it on...

There are some UK shops who may have spares but it m ight be easier getting a spring from the Far East. Light seals as mentioned above, it'll be easy to see if they have degraded and you can find loads on eBay selling them. You could of course send it a specialist to get it serviced, check the...

I once ran a camera club at the company I used to worked for and they funded us to buy equipment if we needed it which was brilliant. This was many many moons ago and we did have the odd member who had images of Christmas on both ends of a roll of film :ROFLMAO:

He actually is right. The breechlock mount on FD lenses have you putting the lens against the body and then you rotate the ring which locks the lens onot the body. The lens does not rotate as you mount it. FD lenses you have to align the red dot to that on the body and then rotate the whole lens...

I had the f/2.8 Mk1 version, not the f/4.

File transfer speed.

Looking forward to giving this a whirl tomorrow.

That's very nice. A camera I always wanted to own. Very green eyed here.

The top spec Pro body will always have a built in grip like the Z9 so it won't be smaller. I know Sony have the A1 and A1ii but Nikon like Canon stick with the built in grip and bigger battery. I like the smaller Z8 and it's a nice option I have when I want a lighter body. Good job as the Z9's...

Is this for something like when you are in a hide and want to trigger the camera? Or something like behind a goal at a football match?

And it seems nice and cheap on the used front.

Any users of the Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 on here? Seen plenty of YouTube videos and it does seem a very nice lens and especially at that price and I fancy getting a nice lens for portrait work without breaking the bank. In the past I've usually stuck at 85mm for portrait stuff so wondering if the...

Finished Ed Gein - Monster. Not bad at all and lots of thing drop into place regarding other serial killers and Hitchcocks Psycho movie and Anthony Perkins. Not Netflix or Prime but I'm watching Task on Sky. Enjoying it a lot too.
