I tend to use a backpack with heavy lenses, or otherwise just carry the camera with my 150-600mm lens using the Slide strap across-body in sling configuration. Having an Anchor Link attached to the camera bottom helps with angling the lens down for better load balance. Just my way.

You and Chris Nichols there Eduard. ;)

Now that there is a solution for portrait-mode use, here is the solution for tethered photography in portrait mode. A USB-C right-angle adapter. This particular adapter comes in a 3-piece assortment with 2 other right-angle adapters of different configuration. This one fits the Zf perfectly, and...

Next item is to solve a problem with the Smallrig grip attachment, or any of the other ones made out there. You get an Arca-type tripod mount on the bottom, but what about using in a vertical configuration? There is exactly 1 Zf L-bracket I have been able to find, but here's my solution...

There are "cosmetic" accessories for the Zf which are very popular, but I have some that I classify as "functional", and some as both. I'll start with a both type of accessory, a leather half-case with padded grip enhancement. Why this item stands for using the camera is that the genuine...

I believe the P1100 and the earlier models are a regularly used option with birders. Not a bad choice. Perhaps it may be wise to look at OM Systems Micro 4/3 as another way to go. Not exactly less expensive, but the 2x crop of the sensor gives you similar reach with a 300mm lens that you get at...

I might suggest a Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Art series for about the same dollars or less.

I agree with the pups!

It's not BS, it's AS: Artificial Sorcery.

I've been fighting through a lot of weird pain in my leg. Not much effort going in to taking photos I'm afraid. I caught this hawk about to pounce on lunch Monday as I waited for AAA to come jumpstart my work car.

Are you going to share photos?

Who would have thought Shatner would outlive him?

I think a lot of people are going to endorse a Z24-120mm f/4 here.

Owen Park in Madison WI. I spotted the ideal photo 3 weeks ago but never had a chance to take the photo in time. An Amish farmer was starting the last pass harvesting corn with a horse drawn machine. I was driving, no chance to park and exchange camera lens fast enough.
