Don't suppose you feel like taking screen shots to share?There's a thread on Luminous Landscape by someone who has a 58mm f0.95
I wouldn't normally comment on pictures too negatively but as that guy is extremely unlikely to read my views or care I will I find this technically good still life stuff mind numbingly boring. I can see why someone would use top end gear to produce pictures like that plant pot shot, and actually the very limited depth flower shots too, as a technical challenge but the plant pot shot is just not a picture I'd want to look at for a single second.
I can see the appeal of using top end gear and the challenge of getting the final result but if that's the final result I just wonder... why bother. But that's just me and good luck to him and anyone else producing technically good pictures of what I see as utterly boring subjects.
Anyway. Enjoy the thread.
I'd rather look at Rookies pictures above. The first one especially is IMO much more interesting than any shot in that LL thread.
I can see the posts but no photosRookie, LL is subscription but not the forums.

If peeps want to see them and can't I'll try to screen shot tomorrow.
Going to order my z6 probably tomorrow, can people advise best place for a XQD card and also a card reader for laptop and iPad Pro.
Thanks
I’ve got this card reader seem to be up to it job at the moment

Thanks for posting the link. I bought a similar looking one at a similar price from Amazon, and it's having to go back. The connection to my computer is really unstable, making it a real chore to transfer files. I'll maybe have a look at replacing it with the one you've linked to there
Cheers,
Simon.
I’ve got this one too and it works fineI’ve got this card reader seem to be up to it job at the moment

No, I just assumed from some posts above you had to subscribe.Have you signed up?
As far as I know you can join the forum for nowt.
I keep meaning to delete all links to that site as sadly since the main man died there's been very little worth reading there and more recently nothing. I only look on there when I'm very bored.
No problem
I’ve had it connected to my MacBook Pro and iMac without any issues
Agreed.I keep meaning to delete all links to that site as sadly since the main man died there's been very little worth reading there and more recently nothing. I only look on there when I'm very bored.
Not that I'm aware of.Has there been a problem with forum today
First quarter of 2020 is the latest we know.Any news on the release date for the 70-200 f2.8 ?
Bugger. I was hopeful that is was out this year, I need a fast telephoto lens of some sort for my astophograpy interests, or buy a refracting telescope and try I figure out how to marry the native z mount to a field flattener on a scope.First quarter of 2020 is the latest we know.
It was supposed to be out now but has been pushed back for some reasonBugger.

Makes for grim reading, fingers crossed they can re-structure and start making a profit. I don't even care if they go more niche (but not more expensive), as long as they don't go under altogether.
No need to worry and it shouldn't have come as a shock, Nikon have been going downhill for the past 5-8 years from a financial point of viewTell me about now kinda worries

Z50 is a bit of a odd-ball...... lenses take time, research and development.... and investment so delays can always happen.But bring out a z50 etc. Hmm wonder why lens line up delayed now. Don’t tell me to sell up and back lol

I believe Olympus have been doing this for some years haven't they?They have made announcements about having to restructure (pay of staff) at least 5 times in the last 5 years.
The photography division is definitely in trouble.
As a company it won’t be a big issue for them if they pull out of photographic, the rest of their business is very profitable. It’s just a matter of how long they continue to allow the rest of their business to prop up their photography division.
Olympus as a company is an interesting read.I believe Olympus have been doing this for some years haven't they?
I’d fall out with you if you bought one of thoseWell today I very nearly pulled the trigger on a 24-70 2.8 but going see what Black Friday brings
