I use the Z8 and Nikon Z 70-200mm S. I find they're a fantastic combination with no drawbacks that I've encountered. With the 1.4tc it's still a great performer, I've heard it's probably the best lens for use with the 2.0tc.

The latest long primes from Nikon are f6.3, so it's this new lenses drop in image quality and f8 that's going to make getting sharp, low noise images, that isolate the subject more difficult. Not impossible by any means, just difficult, especially on poor light conditions.

It's a lens for someone, but not myself. Obviously cost and focal range is going to be the big attraction for some, thinking a one lens for all situations. That f8 at half its focal length is gonna impact/limit use and images out of it, especially for UK weather and moving subjects. I'll stick...

Beautiful set of images.

If I was in your situation and had the funds, I would purchase a Z6II or even better, wait for the "soon" to be expected Z6III. Any lens I had, worked as expected via the FTZ adapter on my Z6 and Z7II. Although some have reported problems with certain 3rd party lenses.

I use the Nikon MH-34, works well.

Buy her one too!

24-120 and my Z8 are practically inseperable, it's taken the place of my 24-70 f2.8.

Nice setup at the show. Both Zf and Voigtlander look to perform well together.

In the menu, or when the shutter/bbf is pressed the image will stabilise.

Doing it at reduced fps is totally acceptable in my books. Say it pre-captures at 10fps RAW and if you have 20fps RAW selected, it jumps to that when the shutter is pressed. It has the bandwidth to implement it in some form.

There's many features that are surplus to my requirements, but pre-capture RAW is one feature that the flagship should definitely have. So I can see why many people are annoyed when it's bypassed by each firmware release.

It does hinder it, but if you don't want the expense of buying 1 or even 2 CFexpress cards or require it's speed, the SD card is a cheap and widely available format. I use the SD as overflow, so I still get full speed until the CFexpress card is filled. It's better than no second slot. The Z9...

It depends on what you shoot. If sports/wildlife in lengthy bursts in loseless RAW then the buffer can fill quickly. Doing this can also heat the card. So a minimum sustained write speed of 1400MB/s is recommended. For normal use then really any decent CFexpress card will work fine. Using HE* or...

Personally, I'd stick with genuine Nikon ones, you never know when a firmware will make 3rd party ones useless. The 3rd party ones seem very hit and miss for compatibility, the smallrig has a handy USB-C port, I use the Nikon MH-34 for on the go USB-C charging of genuine EN-EL15C batteries.
