I knew it would be, it's more the TC advantage over my FL. The G version and FL are the same sharpness wise really and I know the Z mount will be the same, it's just justifying the difference from moving the FL on. It does everything I need and is pin sharp, so do I "upgrade" or keep the pennies...

So the Z 120-300mm f/2.8TC is up for pre-orders and I did have interest registered at LCE but at a pound short of £14k I'll give this a miss and look at getting the Z 400mm f/2.8 instead. For my motorsport stuff, considering where I use certain focal lengths and panning etc, a weighty lens like...

Yes but the 60mm can be used for copying slides as well so is a little more versatile.

I'm a season pass holder there and yes it is a very good track. Best get the waterproofs ready though for this weekend.

Well I've finally pulled the plug on a Z 180-600 and off to Oulton Park to try it out at the BTCC meeting. I know it'll be a bit unfair comparing it to my 400mm f/2.8E FL but it's more to see if I can live with it as a lighter all day lens. I will report on my findings once I've tried it.

Lots of people throw boxes away so that assumption is a bit wide of the mark being honest.

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.
