I was big into woodturning a few years back. I need to get my shop cleared and give it a go again. I'm probably a little old to be playing tag with the gators while river diving.

I have the FTZ and it works great with FX lenses. Keep in mind that with DX lenses, the camera will automatically go into crop frame mode and only use a portion of the sensor, limiting your resolution. As far as I know there is no way to get the camera into full frame mode with a DX lens...

There is definitely a learning curve with the Z5, if you want to use a lot of it's features. There are a ton of different options. After 2 years there are still features I am just now learning about. It takes a little while to get used to the EVF. I have found that now I hate to go back to an...

Great photos. Can I borrow Snow for my backyard to thin out the squirrels?

I hope you don't think I was arguing with you. I read your reference to pronunciation as humor and responded in humor. The large pond between our two countries has resulted in a lot of differences in language. Heck, we have lots of differences in usage and pronunciation between geographical...

Nice shots. Did you get any decent coyote shots? Perhaps an anvil or two?

Welcome. Sounds a lot like my journey. I shot a lot of B&W and slides back in the day before I got disillusioned with my results. I recently picked the hobby back up. I got a hand me down D3400 and two years ago moved up to the Z (pronounced ZEE;)) 5 with the 24-70 F4. I then ended up adding a...

I gave some thought to trying this. It looks like Staples will do one off calendars for $15 ea for the higher quality, or $10 for the lower quality. I might try my hand at having a couple printed and give to family/friends just to see how it goes. The other option is to print them myself, but I...

You might try putting it back on and making sure it is fully seated. I tried my Godox wireless transmitter and the i menu worked as advertised, but the i menu goes away when sliding the transmitter off. It could be it was partially connecting and causing the camera to shut off the menu.

By that, do you mean the menu comes up when the button is pressed, and then goes away when the button is released? I've never left mine up for long enough to see if it times out. Keep in mind the menu will disappear when other buttons are pressed.

FXT Sorry about that chief.

You have to be vewwwy qwwiet.

What, the whitewalls, hub cap or curb feelers?

Welcome. What lens(es) are you using with the Z6II?

I've got lots of great bottles to choose from, but my product photography skills are lacking. Thought about digging out my old SCUBA gear for a still life surrounding this bottle, but didn't have the energy. Found this one on the bottom of the Cooper River over a decade ago. The SC dispensary...

BF: surprised you didn't suggest this: Lawyers warning "Do NOT attempt to remove your body cap with a large hammer. Picture included for humor only!"

What camera(s)are you going to be using it on?

My wife does genealogy. The abundance of child mortality prior to the 20th century is staggering to those of us use to modern medicine and modern sanitation. Very common to see a couple have 8 -10 children and only a couple make it to adulthood. Often some disease going through would take out a...

No need to apologize for the D3400. I have one as a backup camera in my bag. I've done almost no automotive photography, and what little I did was static. Anything that will give you fast shutter speeds without going too far with ISO. For birds in flight, I use Manual with auto ISO. I typically...

Welcome. I know what you mean about the learning curve for the new cameras. The options seem endless. Fortunately, there are some very knowledgeable folks here who are willing to share. If you haven't seen it yet, there are subforums for automotive and macro. You can post, and/or ask questions...
