I've been experiencing subject detection focusing difficulties with my Z8. Last week I done an outdoor portrait shoot and found it difficult to eye track, even it switching to just the face was unreliable. Using 24-70 f/2.8 S, eye/face detect enabled. Last night in good light I also had...

Get yourself a monopod or gimbal for a tripod, let it take all the weight.

What was it that made you choose it over the Viltrox?

I'm always out and about my garden at night with flash, doing macro. I never once thought to worry about the neighbours, I'm doing no one any harm and happy to talk to anyone at 3am if they have any concerns.

Also came across this. No idea if it'll ever see the light of day, but looks interesting. https://dxoclub.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqFaA_tWNDaV3WRupQ9VL1v0YUx1BKeM-xSPtDzuPAa3_QL1-yW

I think it was something like this but better weight/quality. https://proaim.co.uk/products/proaim-rainwear-poncho-for-sound-grip-audio-recordists

I Googled before posting, but user recommendations and real world use by photographers takes away any of the guess work.

I was recently out photographing the Redbull Soapbox race in Belfast and a torrential downpour occurred. The Redbull media photographers and camera men had really good ponchos with viewing windows, big enough to cover a backpack while worn as well. I should have taken a photo of them. Anyone...

Anyone use the Nisi JetMag Pro?

I'm looking ones that don't alter image quality but also don't need to take a mortgage for.

I'm looking to buy a kit of magnetic filters for my Nikon Z lenses I'm thinking of getting a CPL and various ND strengths. I'm wanting one set that can be used on the following lenses. 14-30mm f/4 82mm filter size 24-70mm f/2.8 82mm filter size 24-120mm f/4...

Just bought a Nikon 16-50mm Z lens, from WEX this week, Described as a 9 and it looked brand new. Delivered very quickly and well packaged. Very good price too. Luckily I've never had a problem with anything I've bought from WEX.

The 100-400mm is very versatile, relatively small, lightweight and focuses quite quickly. It is good optically and can take the tc, the auto focus speed does take a small hit with the 1.4tc, but optically it's very close to no tc. I like it, as long that's they range required. I have the...

This, while very nice to have, would be impossible to implement imo. The current lenses with the in-built tc, is designed to project its image onto the sensor without moving it forwards or backwards, when the tc is engaged or disengaged. All non in-built compatible tc lenses are designed to be...

If you have a lens already that could be put to good use on a DSLR, a second hand DSLR would be quite inexpensive. Personally I'd prefer selling the lens, not investing in a DSLR and putting the money to a Z alternative. I use a Z8 and Z50II, I put my Z MC 105mm macro on my Z50II, when out and...
