I resized all of the film scans before posting here, and I'm afraid some fine detail was lost. Some of the Jurustic Park photos did not make it into the post...

Last location at Astico county park east of Columbus, WI. Also drove down the road to stand on a dangerously narrow bridge and take photos of mill just outside of the park. Only 2 dump trucks and a semi decided to drive over the bridge as I stood there. The steel bridge is with the Zeiss 15mm...

Another day driving through Burlington, WI and another lunch break at the dam in a park next to the VFW. Mix of 28-105mm and 15mm lenses.

Kenosha, WI waterfront for another lunch stop. All with the 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5.

Next location was from my work travels. Lunchtime at Natureland Park near Whitewater, WI. Some shots with 28-105mm and others with Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 Distagon. Yes, I had difficulty using manual focus at 15mm.

In January 2022 Tim was the 3rd of my 3 older brothers to pass on. A 17 year long endurance with emphysema that ended with a cancer. Yes, he liked smoking a lot. All my brothers did. Tim did like to play with photography. He took photos at biker parties and rallies. He did several nude sessions...

A bump to note I have the film scans now.

I will attempt to sum this up. Joe Nuzzo made a video of a DIY hack making a homemade CF Express card. He got his clicks and revenue, offers no guarantee on the hack. Now when you tried this, it writes files but won't read to your Mac. Joe Nuzzo owes you money for damages. Lawsuit.

I am going to add a filter organizer to a future Amazon purchase. This month I was without ND filters (as is normal for me) and I really discovered I wanted to slow down shutter for some wind turbines. I have no organization, carry the filters in original packaging, so this discourages me from...

I think the most relevant way the Expeed 7 processor handles the autofocus is that it will be faster and snap to the focus point faster than a Z6 first generation. And that is what is happening for you. As a still photographer, that is what I demand. I imagine this can be addressed in firmware...

Getting a photo print right is a bit of a gamble each try. You are tuning the photo color and brightness for an average computer display, which is a direct-view color science of combining Red-Green-Blue. On a print you are using paper that must reflect the ambient light on stock that can have...

Precapture buffers in images before you press the shutter release. So if you are a bit slow with the trigger finger, you might still have a good shot in the burst.

It was my plan all the time to share the photos. It's a legacy project. My brother Tim died 3 years ago and I took his photo gear, or at least the stuff that had a prayer of working. Among the stuff was this N70, and N8008. Also found 2 rolls of Kodak BW film sealed in box and expired since...

I decided to take a photo of (some) of my film cameras I used over time. The Kodak Bulls-eye medium-format that began it all is long gone since childhood. Also missing is my first 35mm point-n-shoot that developed a nasty light-leak after I attempted to put it in a coat pocket and it bounced off...

I do not use your setup, but aspire to some day. I do use a Z5 and an adapted Sigma 150-600mm lens. I use for astrophotography and wildlife, including flying birds. I don't have actual trouble with lag while tracking, it's when I shoot a continuous series that the action freezes for each...
