I agree but I tend to use the Z8 with the 24-120 and the Z9 with 100-400+TCx1.4, and the Z7 with 14-30.

I have it and think that it is great. If I need longer then I add the TC x1.4. I would say that on the Z8/9 the lens +TC combo works really well as it is a balanced setup but on Z7/Zf it does not feell as good.

I really like SmallRig products. I have their base grips on all my recent Nikon and Fuji cameras. I also have a pair of their torch shaped and sized LED lights.

Fine shot. I have some shots as they land and enter the nest but catching them in flight is much more difficult as I shot single shot so my success rate is much less than shooting at 20fps.

Yes it is on the Sony A7R VI. It is perfect. I am happy with the screen on the Zf as I never use it except for occasional image review or Menu changes, in fact I turn it over to face inwards.

Thanks. Looks great that way round. I do wish Nikon would release a 45MP version of the Zf. Exactly the same features but 45MP.

What does it look like from the front?

I had the 24-120mm f4 in F mount and it was one of my favourite lenses so when I got the Z7 it was an easy decision to get the Z mount version. It is used on my Z8 and the 100-400 Z is on my Z9.

Never noticed this so clearly before that ducks fly with undercarriage up! Fine shot.

I agree that having a good toolset (set of cameras and lenses) is important if you want consistently good results. I am very pleased that Nikon is doing well again as it means they have the finances to plough in new and different R&D for new products. I have the two DC lenses 105mm f2 DC and...

I think that changing bodies Z to F or vice versa is just a false decision making point. My D850 produces just as good images as my Z8/Z9 with similar AF speed so ultimately ....... WTF did I buy a Z camera? Well I bought the Z7 as I thought (maybe foolishly) that it would be the same as my...

Plenty of them on the golf course in Spain.

Yes it works on my Nikons or Fujis and it is excellent as a fill light and can be used wirelessly as the flash head and hotshoe talk to each other wirelessly.

No but I have the Godox IT32 and it is excellent for a small flash. I got mine with Fuji X and an interchangeable Nikon hotshoe foot so I can use it on either my Nikons or my Fuji cameras. The nice thing is that it provide wireless connectivity between the camera hotshoe connection and the...

I would not expect the AF to catch that, except by good luck or a slim chance. Loads of highlights amongst the branches and the birds eyes are difficult to pick out.
