Hi @PhilD41 and welcome! Is this the only time it has happened? From what I can tell from your screen grab, focus doesn't appear to be an issue and the stars look to be well defined without streaks but 300mm is quite a reach for long exposures. Any anomaly between you and your target will be...

A dog can tell no lies

If you have a bestbuy near by, thats where I bought the 30L. I got the 45 & 65 from REI, if you have one of those near by. It does pay off knowing how it fits, especially for such an expense. Though, Adorama, B&H as well as Amazon , (the other sources of procurement) offer 30 day returns...

Very interesting stuff, here. Fantastic photos and stories to go along with them. Thanks for sharing!

I vote full 180. The edges help tie the scene together, my eyes travel around the image. I think the cropped in could use a big boat or something unless the clouds are supposed to be the focal point. The clouds look cool, but I think are still better shown in the 180. It seems like there is...

Have you checked that there are no switches stuck in between positions? There could be some gunk built up under a button preventing any other input from another button press. You could carefully swab some alcohol around the buttons with a qtip, (I'd start with the focus mode button) to try to...

Absolutely sad news. Thanks for all your help through the years, Fred. RIP

Hey @Clovishound congrats on your new shooter! FYI, you can transfer images from the camera to computer via USB C and skip the card reader altogether. I transfer my daughters volleyball videos this way and its pretty quick. I needed a card reader for my old Z6 to update firmware, it might be...
