Hi All. One question you may be able to help with. Focal lengths for cricket. I currently shoot a Nikon Z8. Longest lens I've got is the z mount 70-200 f2.8. I've been looking at longer lenses to enable me to shoot football and cricket, primarily cricket. Budget-wise I'm looking at either...

Has anyone tried the Tamron 150-500 for Z mount yet?

How to XQD cards stack up against the CF Express Type B cards. I bought 2 for the Z6ii/Z7ii but have since sold the Z7ii and replaced it with a Z8. If I want to shoot 20 frame bursts, do I need to replace the XDQ? my main concern is my SD cards as they are ancient.

Has anyone got any recommendations for the following accessories: Batteries (I'm going to need at least 2 I think) Filter System (Looking at ND filters and a CP) Is there a remote release available? Any assistance greatly received. Thanks muchly.

Well I've just ordered myself the M7. Will report back once I've received it and taken some test shots.

Hello. I'm a twin D850 shooter now. I use my old D750 as back up. Shot my wedding season with the pair. For me, the key was calibrating the lenses to the body. I used Reikan Focal - https://www.reikanfocal.com/ Since I've calibrated my 35, 50 and 85mm primes, I rarely miss focus. I've...

Nope. I'd rather not tbh. We've got a baby, a baby stoller and a car seat to take with us as it is :(

I'm looking at the VII as the wife has banned me from taking my roller bag with us to the US in Dec/Jan and Japan/Singapore in Mar/Apr. I usually shoot with my Nikon D850 and lenses. Had anyone had a play with the VII?

Woo hoo, about time!

I use Lightroom Mobile to do the majority of my editing but use Afinity for a few things. So... 1. Import to Photos. 2. Upload to Adobe Lightroom. 3. Delete all from Photos. 4. Edit in LR then export a large as possible to LR folder in Photos. 5. Upload to Afinity. 6. Edit in Afinity. 7...

and thats my job for this weekend. Will be intrigued to see how it turns out!

I shoot Nikon Phil. Yes, I've always shot manual for exactly that reason. I dont tend to touch Auto ISO for the same reason too. Just curious as to how it worked as I've never really played with it.

Hey Peeps I usually shoot in manual. When shooting outside, I find the ambient with ISO, shutter and aperture and then drop it by a stop or two then manually adjust the power of my speedlight/AD200 to taste. I've never explored using TTL and apeture priority mode but something got me thinking...

3 is the way to go for the US. When we done our 2,000 miles road trip, our data sims didn't miss a beat for using google maps for Sat Nav.

I'll happily donate for a .pdf version :) (seem to have missed this post first time around for some reason!)
