You get a Z7 and she gets this!

I presume you're still happy with the lens? Both from an ergonomic and a quality point of view?

Glad to hear it. I've just ordered one from E-Infin.I’m delighted with it. Very light in use and great results.

Yeah I saw that the other day, for some reason the new Nikon zooms aren't pulling up any trees in the test scores. As we've discussed earlier though it's made me realise that DXO scores aren't great, in the real world the 24-70mm f4 is fantastic (imo) so I'm not judging the 14-30mm based on their scoresFor those that may care DXO has reviewed the 14-30mm

DXO only suits when it favours your kit it seems lol. When Nikon was on top of all there lists it was where you all compared kit against, now there not the marks are not worth anything .

Their marks don't mean much tbh just like dpreview's end score and medal.DXO only suits when it favours your kit it seems lol. When Nikon was on top of all there lists it was where you all compared kit against, now there not the marks are not worth anything .
Lol, of course we want our gear to score the best of everythingDXO only suits when it favours your kit it seems lol. When Nikon was on top of all there lists it was where you all compared kit against, now there not the marks are not worth anything .

Joking aside, I've mainly used DXO for sensor scores tbh and only used the lens scores now and again for 'comparison' rather than the actual score themselves. However, that being said I have always said I don't understand how they score the 24-70mm so high over the 24-120mm f4 for example so have always questioned the lens scoring, and then their lens coring has been brought to my attention again recently as people are posting the scores for the new z lenses.
Also as Cagey says, the scores they give some of the m4/3 lenses are laughable. With all this coming to light now it's made me think differently about DXO, and I'm now even wondering how reliable the sensor scores are?
Could do it by bluetooth. Or use the power contacts. As you know from home network power extensions, it's possible to send data over power.Read this on Nikon Rumours:
https://nikonrumors.com/2019/06/27/...for-nikon-z-cameras-registered-in-korea.aspx/
Looks like a fairly innocuous announcement, but it says these registrations are needed for wireless products. So the battery grip could still have controls despite the lack of contacts in the battery compartment?
noAm I alone in not being interested in graphs and charts? I just want my (real) pictures to look OK.

I prefer real reviews by real photographers, not just benchmark testing of dubious validity (or narcissistic YouTube videos). DxO's refusal to test Fuji dismissed them in my eyes though it may be that they have their merits. Several reputable reviewers like Camerlabs, Thom Hogan or Photographylife have recently put some question marks against the sample variation, distortion and other issues of the 14-30 though all have concluded that it's in general a fine lens, perhaps just not quite what was expected after the superlative initial S releases. I expect the overwhelming majority will be happy and it's far from unlikely that I'll finish up with one eventually.
I too don’t rate dxo and would be interested to see Photography Life’s Imatest results on the new 14-30 or even better testing Roger Cicala’s testing.
That said they dont seem to have hit this one out of the ball park.
