Happy Z6iii day to me :) it’s a chunky monkey compared to my Z6i, the autofocus is another level though. Should have done it ages ago :(

Anyone making use of Home Assistant ? Have been on a right steep learning curve but luckily Claude (Anthropic) has kept me on the straight and narrow ;)

I have an 85mm f2 evo which I picked up off Ali Express for £140 shipped, they regularly have discount vouchers. Pick a seller with decent UK reviews, add it your basket and leave it there. Sometimes they send vouchers sometimes they don’t ;) I’ve not used it much but it’s impressed when I have.

There are exceptions but generally the FX lenses are ‘S’ class lenses, higher quality optics/coatings with features like weather sealing etc With the advent of the Z5ii we are starting to see cheaper FX lenses though, like the 1.4 primes and the newly announced 24-105. The DX lenses are very...

You can set the limits of Auto ISO to what you find acceptable. My limitations are DX 3200, FX 6400 but each to our own ;)

I’m sure you will have seen it but the Mirrorless Comparison site also lists his best settings for BIF for the Z6i but it’s so similar to the z6ii. Mirrorless Comparisons Z6 settings

It’s a kit lens and will probably be about £350 in real terms when sold with a Z5ii. I can see it struggling on the 47mp cameras unless in DX but the early reviewers seem to like it.

Viltrox 85mm f2 wide open on z61 with my ever willing model, she will do anything for a gravy bone !

I have got the new Viltrox 85 f2 Neo, small, light and renders a nice image.

I have a Z6/Z50 and when I want to carry a smaller pocket camera I follow Woof Woof and use a GX80 14/20. I do have an LX100 as well which is a nice little setup.

Nice couple of additions. I think an apsc range finder style is more likely. If that’s successful, a FF version will follow. Just like how the Zfc/zf appeared.

In addition, on the top menu choose view and select the masks pallet, it will then appear next to the layer/channel/paths tabs you then have quick access to the various options available with masks.
