The year seven is flying by!

I decided to do a full review of my edited folders which represents a ratio of about 10% of my photos. So, I went thru 50K of edited folders to pick out the photos, so out of the 50K almost 900 made the first cut, and then another round of those 900 to about 150. which is around a 0.2% of photos, which illustrates

ok,, I could not resist and added the Z50 to the Z family, and ... yes,, I like the camera,, a lot.

super compact, light, sharp images (hard not to be with the D500 like sensor), fast burst rate.
and what I really like is that I could set up the camera in the same fashion as my Z6 and Z7.

It makes my transition from

A full year has now passed on owning the Z7, and what a year it has been! I have added the Z6 into the family too, along with a whole slew of lens. For native lens, I have the 14-30, 24-70 and the 35 1.8, but in addition, I picked up a new 60 mm macro G,
85 1.8G and 105 G macro, these I bought as my older versions D lens did not Auto Focus without

and so the year is now over halfway,, My Z7 is now 10 months old, and Z6 is 4 months or so.

I have become so comfortable with the Z family,, I wonder what mirror DSLRs are anymore, of course I had years playing with
Sony and Fuji,but the Nikon is the best of the systems.

I have to take a breather, no more new equipment

133 days since the last entry! but, seriously doubt anybody really noticed, as the comments in 7 years have been sparse as a
happy Canon mirrorless owner,, ok,, just kidding, but seriously, they have fallen behind,, even my most diehard Canon users are
planning to switch to Sony, no not Nikon, that would just kill them.

Off to Nikon for lens cleaning, typically, my local shops, but the sensor moved a bit too much to scare them
off with the IBIS in the Z7.

So, I'll get it back next week all spanking bright clean, and I will be extra extra careful, but over time, sticky
dust will get on the sensor.

5 days left to finish year 6 of this Why Not a Blog,,

The Z7 really does well with night and long exposure. Here is a shot I took taking advantage of a full

moon that gives lots of ambient light.

20 more days! and year 6 is done! amazing. I used to do these blogs every single day for almost the first 4 years, now, once a month or so,,

The Z7 has provided such precision in manual focus that I am finding myself buying Zeiss lens, and Voigtlander not your easiest lens to use
but with the peak focus set to max, quite easy.

After 2 months now, I am putting my Z7 as the best Nikon camera for me persoonally. I have liked/loved many Nikon SLRs,
but only a few raised to my absolute favorites: they are now in this order .

Nikon Z7

Nikon D700/D800 -> replaced with a DF
