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...

Well, keep in mind to change a regular lens into a 1:1 macro, you need approximately the same distance as the focal length. So a 50mm lens will require 50mm of extension. That is a little over the 1 1/2" of the extender. It would require over 10 times that length to do the same for a 600mm lens...

The blackbird image would make a great puzzle.

My Z5 has a little play. Doesn't seem to affect anything. FYI, it's a rotational play.

Welcome. Have you looked at the Z cameras. I know that, when on sale, for $2500 the D850 is a real bargain, but, the new mirrorless cameras have lots of great features that the DSLRs don't. I'm thinking you probably have a number of quality FX lenses, and those normally do work well with the...
